After exposure to interference, most UAVs either deviate from the course, crashing into the ground, or remain stationary, marking time until they restore the signal or exhaust their energy reserves.
As explained, there is an opinion that an auxiliary power plant is necessary for the smooth operation of the Breakwater. However, early tests of the system were carried out on the T-72B3 tank, which did not have it.
