A Kyiv equipment startup called CODE380 has been gaining attention for a pocket-sized receiver, the D·Vision SDR, that picks up live camera video from many Russian drones and shows it on a screen.

Those drones send their video over the air without any scrambling, so anyone with the right receiver can watch along. A Ukrainian unit can see where a drone is heading and what its pilot is aiming at before it hits. According to Defense News, the device is light, at about 10 ounces, which is less than half the weight of competing Ukrainian models, one of which weighs a couple of pounds.
这些无人机在空中传输视频时没有任何加密，因此任何拥有合适接收器的人都可以同步观看。乌克兰部队可以在无人机撞击前看到它的飞行方向以及飞行员的目标。据《防务新闻》报道，该设备重量很轻，约为 10 盎司（约 283 克），不到同类乌克兰竞争型号重量的一半，其中一些竞争型号重达几磅。
It also listens on the radio channels Russia’s newer Molniya drones started using for video in June. Serhii “Flash” Beskrestnov, a radio specialist who advises Ukraine’s president, said in a June Facebook post cited by Defense News that “most detectors don’t see these frequencies, or see them poorly.” He warned that putting too much trust in a detector could prove fatal.
它还能监听俄罗斯较新的“闪电”（Molniya）无人机自 6 月起用于视频传输的无线电频道。据《防务新闻》援引的一篇 6 月份的 Facebook 帖子，为乌克兰总统提供咨询的无线电专家 Serhii “Flash” Beskrestnov 表示，“大多数探测器无法探测到这些频率，或者探测效果很差。”他警告说，过度依赖探测器可能会导致致命后果。
Beskrestnov has also warned that digital video could one day replace analog, which would blind receivers like this one. The New York Times reported in August that some Molniyas are AI-guided, using Nvidia chips and emitting no signals.
Beskrestnov 还警告称，数字视频有朝一日可能会取代模拟视频，这将使此类接收器失效。《纽约时报》8 月报道称，一些“闪电”无人机采用人工智能引导，使用英伟达芯片且不发射任何信号。
