Satellite imagery has confirmed that Ukrainian forces have struck and destroyed another piece of Russian electronic warfare equipment designed to jam Starlink satellite internet signals. This marks the third such jammer confirmed destroyed.

The latest confirmed strike hit an FSB border base located in Gelendzhik, on Russia's Black Sea coast. The location of the destroyed equipment was identified through satellite imagery of the site.

Each of these Starlink-jamming systems is estimated to cost around $1.8 million, meaning the three confirmed strikes have inflicted several million dollars in losses on this specific category of Russian equipment.

Starlink serves as a critical communications tool for the Ukrainian military, prompting Russia to deploy dedicated electronic warfare systems aimed at disrupting the satellite network. Ukraine's repeated strikes on these jammers point to a sustained effort to degrade Russia's capacity to interfere with Ukrainian communications.

The available information does not specify further details about how the latest strike was carried out, but satellite imagery provides visual confirmation of the destroyed jammer's location at the FSB facility.
