Russia Deploys 10 Electronic Warfare Systems to Jam Starlink; Ukraine Destroys 2
Russia has deployed 10 electronic warfare systems designed to disrupt Ukrainian drone control via Starlink. Ukraine reports destroying two of these systems.
Russian forces have deployed ten electronic warfare systems aimed at jamming Ukrainian drone control that relies on Starlink satellite internet. These systems are specifically intended to interfere with communication channels, thereby denying Ukrainian forces the ability to effectively pilot their unmanned aerial vehicles. According to Ukrainian reports, two of these electronic warfare units have already been destroyed. Details on the method and location of destruction remain undisclosed. This incident is part of the ongoing electronic warfare contest between Russia and Ukraine, where both sides attempt to disrupt each other's communications and control systems. Starlink, provided by SpaceX, has become a vital asset for the Ukrainian military, ensuring connectivity even in contested areas. Russia has repeatedly attempted to jam this service, but Ukrainian forces actively work to counter such threats.
