The Ukrainian company UkrSpecConsulting has reported the successful delivery and deployment of its new Veres-2 portable electronic warfare (EW) station to several brigades of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, with positive feedback received from the units.
"This system is an effective means of countering warhead-carrying Mavic and Autel UAVs. The capabilities of Veres-2 exceed the performance of other directional equipment available to the unit within the same frequency ranges. Veres-2 disrupts enemy UAV missions at ranges of 1,000 to 2,000 meters," a brigade commander noted after employing the jammer in combat.

The Veres-2 is already in use on the Zaporizhzhia and Pokrovsk operational fronts.
According to UkrSpecConsulting, the Veres-2 is an advanced compact EW device, developed with proprietary software and several key modules of in-house design and manufacture.
The system interferes with enemy drone onboard receivers by simultaneously suppressing operator control signals and satellite navigation channels (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou) through active noise-like interference. The operating frequency bands include 1160–1280 MHz, 1560–1630 MHz, 2400–2500 MHz, 5160–5280 MHz, and 5725–5850 MHz.
The system's signal-generating modules and multi-band antenna array can be remotely controlled via its system controller, allowing operators to adjust range selection, signal polarization, and direction of interference.
In active suppression mode, the Veres-2 provides at least 60 minutes of autonomous operation on battery power, or continuous use when connected to an AC supply. The full system weighs under 20 kg.
Beyond passing the full test cycle, the Veres-2 also underwent additional evaluation by EW specialists before being introduced to combat units. According to the head of Ukraine's EW specialist school, "In conditions close to real combat scenarios with the use of enemy UAVs, the short-range Veres-2 system from UkrSpecConsulting demonstrated high efficiency and stable performance across all declared frequencies and distances."
The instructors highlighted the system's reliability and resistance to dust, moisture, and low temperatures, all crucial for field use. They also noted the "intuitive control interface, which allows one to master the system quickly."
The school's conclusion was that the specifications declared by UkrSpecConsulting had been fully confirmed in practice, and that Veres-2 is suitable for broad adoption across Ukrainian military units to counter UAV threats.
Further combat deployment has since validated these findings in practice. In addition to its technical specifications, however, the reliability of delivery timelines and communication with the manufacturer are also important.
In this respect, here's another quote from a brigade using Veres-2 to cover its positions: "UkrSpecConsulting LLC has fully fulfilled its obligations under the contract, including delivery deadlines. The devices are used in combat conditions, technically sound, and there are no complaints about their operation."
The Veres-2 has been codified and included in the General Staff's whitelist for procurement. It can be supplied in different configurations depending on customer requirements.
UkrSpecConsulting adds that Veres-2 is only one of several EW systems it is providing to the Ukrainian Defense Forces. Other developments, adapted to the ever-shifting landscape of the battlefield, are currently undergoing final testing.
