They create a drone that turns into ‘ghost’ fighter jets to confuse the enemy

He drone It has become a key tool in battle, especially after the war between Ukraine and Russia. The latest thing that has been done is a drone capable of deceiving defense systems by becoming combat fighters.

This advanced system has been designed by the Italian defense company Leonardo. A single drone can become dozens of fighters, or can even send jamming signals to detection devices.

The system has been named BriteStorm. It was presented at the annual conference of the Association of the United States Army, in Washington, DC, reports the El Confidencial website.

Michael Lea, vice president of sales for that company, has noted that “BriteStorm can be placed on almost any platform, as long as it has a payload bay and the power equivalent to the battery of a Humvee,” a multipurpose vehicle.

The problem is that it has not yet been tested in a real conflict situation. According to the report, the system installed on a drone can detect and evaluate different electronic warfare threats.

On the other hand, in response it can simulate a bombing that confuses the enemy’s radar. A strategy that can change the development of a combat.
