SRF NewsState / PublicCenterFactual 85Objective 7014 days agoIn the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Russian forces are attempting to counter the advantage provided by Ukrainian drones connected to Starlink, a satellite internet service. These drones allow Ukrainian pilots to target Russian logistics lines up to 200 kilometers behind the front line. To disrupt this capability, Russia has deployed a system called 'Wolna Kupol Garant,' which emits strong interference signals targeting the frequency band used by Starlink terminals. According to Ukrainian expert Serhij Beskrestnow, known as 'Flash,' the system uses multiple parabolic antennas mounted on trailers to create localized signal disruption. While the effectiveness of the system remains unclear due to lack of independent verification, reports suggest it has had some impact, with Ukrainian forces claiming to have destroyed two such systems. However, the range of the system appears limited, covering only a small area, and its overall strategic impact depends on widespread deployment.
