    A little more info on that Bradley vs T90 scrum (props to the original poster, 'MarkSheppard' on another forum):
    ~This Bradley is mounting a drone jammer as shown in this pic he provided.~

    Stepove, Avdiivka, a Bradley IFV of the 47th Brigade is repelling another russian assault. Notice the newly developed anti drone jammer Cupol (Купол - Dome) on the rear top of the turret of this Bradley ifv. ZSU started using this system widle. Average range of jamming from 40-80 meters.
     
    Mark's comment.
    Apparently the average range of this type of jammer that AFU is using widely is 40 to 80 meters.

    It doesn't stop drones from hovering 200-400 meters away and taking video of you with zoom lens; but it does mitigate a little bit of the suicide FPV drone threat...

    With one caveat..
    ...you've got to be moving. A jamming range of 40-50m means that if you're stationary; even if you jam a suicide FPV drone in it's attack dive, the ballistics of the drone will mean that it has a good chance of hitting you....

    Ukrainian EW and drone specialist Serhii Flash estimates the effectiveness of Ukrainian FPVs to be around 30%, highly dependent on the unit.
    Дуже багатьох цікавить питання ефективності FPV.

    До целi долітає та попадае 30% FPV. Це середня цифра по країни. І то її ніхто ніколи не рахував, це просто моє припущення. В одних підрозділів вона може бути часом 70%, а в інших 20%.

    Залежить це від таких факторів:
    1. Якість БПЛА
    2. Правильний підбір частот та протоколів для конкретної ділянки фронту
    3. Активність російського РЕБ на дільниці фронту
    4. Досвід пілотiв
    5. Правильність та достовірність розвідки

    Бувае так шо одним підрозділам постiйно дають «жирні» та точні цілі і вонi мають успішність 60%. Їх ставлять у приклад, всіх тягнуть під їхній показник, натомість замовчуючи, як він досягається

    Я прошу великих командирів на фронтах «не гнати план». Зростання показників має бути з МІСЯЦЯМИ. Це означає, що підрозділ розвивається.
    Але успішність на усiх фронтах різна.

    Якщо цікавить моя особиста думка, то довгостроковий показник 50% - це дуже, дуже хороший результат. Але не завжди його реально досягти. Quote: Many are interested in the question of FPV efficiency.

    30% FPV reaches and hits the target. This is the average figure for the country. And no one has ever counted her, this is just my guess. In some divisions, it can sometimes be 70%, and in others 20%.

    It depends on the following factors:

    1. UAV quality
    2. Correct selection of frequencies and protocols for a specific section of the front
    3. The activity of the Russian EW on the front line
    4. Experience of pilots
    5. Correctness and reliability of intelligence

    It happens that some divisions are constantly given "fat" and precise goals and they have a success rate of 60%. They are set as an example, everyone is dragged under their indicator, instead of keeping silent about how it is achieved

    I ask the great commanders on the fronts "not to pursue the plan." The increase in indicators should be with MONTHS. This means that the unit is developing.

    But success on all fronts is different.

    If you're interested in my personal opinion, a long-term figure of 50% is a very, very good result. But it is not always realistic to achieve it.

    And one more story with happy end, how drone team could spot and resque wounded soldier. In this time it was more hard - the guy hide behind knoked out vehicle, so drone hovered directly over him to determine it is own or foe and he is dead or alive. After soldier was recognized as own-alive, drone was charged with tea, flashlight and lighter - all this was dropped to soldier. The note was attached "If you can crawl follow the drone, rise a hand". But soldier likely lost own strenghth, so despite enemy was close, resque group was send and they could find and evacuate own comrade

    Russian milblogers as far as more than month or two ago began to complain UKR troops more and more have been hunting for drone teams, not sparing even HIMARS to hit their mobile or stationery control posts or deployment points. And in last three weeks losses of drone operators became very large. 
    This have a sense - we can't shot down or supress all drones, but can affect the source of their launch. 
    Yesterday our marines eliminated very bold Russian drone team in Krynky. The leader of this group was milblogger and owner of TG "Moisey | Reports from the front". Russians claimed his team hit about 400 UKR soldiers with drones and destroyed many boats and vehicles. Unknown how much this data is overestimated or not, but this was some sort of their "Magyar" analog, but in much less local scale. His group was tracked and destroyed likely with thermobaric charge mounted on FPV. But maybe ammo dump for their drones theer was in their house.
    The moment of Moisey group elimination
    If I already meant "Magyar" some words about him. His unit is again making level-up - now - it will be 414th separate UAV battalion, which will include not only recon and strike drones of different classes, but also SIGINT/ELINT unit as well as EW unit to track enemy drone teams, enemy drone in the air and supress them by EW systems.
    "Magyar" claims after this upgrade this unit can maintain 100 km of frontline with firm ELIINT/EW and strike support of troops. This will be first unit of such type in the world.
