  • •The D·Vision SDR intercepts unencrypted video from Russian drones.
  • •It weighs only 10 ounces, making it significantly lighter than competitors.
  • •Experts warn that future digital video feeds may outpace current interception technologies.

A new pocket-sized receiver, the D·Vision SDR, developed by Ukrainian firm CODE380, allows drone operators to intercept live video feeds from Russian drones. This device can pick up unencrypted video signals from drones operating on frequencies between 500 MHz and 8.7 GHz, providing situational awareness by showing operators where an attack is headed. Weighing only 10 ounces, it is significantly lighter than competing models, which weigh up to 2 pounds. The D·Vision SDR has been designed to cover frequencies used by Russia's Molniya drones, which began broadcasting video in June 2026. While the device is effective against current analog video feeds, experts warn that future digital video technologies could render such receivers ineffective. The device has been combat-tested and receives regular software updates, enhancing its capabilities against evolving threats.
