According to the manufacturer, Czech Sokil SPS100 creates radio interference on six channels in the frequency range from 821 MHz to 5.9 GHz. A feature of the device is its ease of use: no additional settings are required to switch bands, just pull the trigger. The manufacturer claims that the gun is effective against several drones simultaneously, and the range reaches 1.5 kilometers.

The gun destabilizes the drone, causing it to fall. The device can operate in jamming mode for up to 30 minutes. It blocks not only control and navigation signals, but also video communication.

On August 18-19, six people were wounded in the Kherson region after an aggressor attack . Russian occupants shelled residential areas in Kherson region. Two multi-storey buildings and 22 private houses were damaged as a result of enemy attacks. A bus and private cars were also damaged. The attacks were aimed at critical and social infrastructure facilities, which led to destruction and damage in the region's settlements.
