How russians Try to Jam Starlink Using a $1.5 Million ... - Defense Express The Ukrainian Armed Forces' use of Starlink satellite communications, which are now out of reach of enemy interference, has long been one of the key challenges russia has been trying to counter. One of the systems used was the Volna Kupol Garant electronic warfare system, manufactured by Rossiysky Kupol, which operates in temporarily occupied Crimea. Serhii "Flash" Beskrestnov, adviser to Ukraine's Minister of Defense, provided detailed information about it. The Volna Kupol Garant system is designed to overwhelm Starlink communication channels with powerful jamming signals. However, this requires a highly precise tracking system for each satellite that needs to be jammed, as well as a system with high power output. Combined with russian corruption, this brings the price of the Volna Kupol Garant system to around $1.5 million per unit. "Technically, the Starlink satellite receives signals from terminals in the 14–14.5 GHz band. This band is divided into eight channels, each 62.5 MHz wide. russians hypothetically take eight satellite dishes, point them at the satellite, and each dish transmits interferenc…

Russia faces challenges trying to jam Starlink in Ukraine Footage reportedly shows Ukrainian forces destroying a Russian system deployed to jam Starlink. The satellite network, which is notoriously difficult to jam, has become crucial for providing high-speed internet access to Ukraine.

Russia’s latest Starlink satellite jammer shows high efficiency — expert The Volna Kupol Garant electronic warfare system does not switch off Starlink communications as such but instead ‘stuns’ a particular satellite for the duration of its flight over the area of the system’s operation

Ukraine hunts down Russian jammers targeting Starlink satellites Ukraine hunts down Russian jammers targeting Starlink satellites News Army By Dylan Malyasov Jun 16, 2026 Modified date: Jun 16, 2026 Screengrab from video posted to social media Key Points Ukrainian defense advisor Serhii Beskrestnov identified and confirmed the destruction of Russian "Volna Kupol Garant" Starlink-jamming EW systems being used along the front in 2026. The system, made by LLC Rossiysky Kupol of Simferopol, costs $1.5 million per unit and uses 12 antennas on 6 trailers to jam Starlink's 14–14.5 GHz uplink across 20 square kilometers. The satellite communication network that Ukrainian forces depend on to coordinate everything from drone strikes to artillery fire has a new enemy, and Ukraine is already destroying it. Ukrainian defense advisor Serhii “Flash” Beskrestnov, a widely followed open-source intelligence analyst who tracks electronic warfare developments along the front, has publicly identified a Russian electronic warfare system called “Volna Kupol Garant” that is specifically designed to jam Starlink satellite terminals by overwhelming the satellites themselves with interference rather than ta…

Russians deploy massive, $1.5M Starlink jammers, Ukrainians are blowing ... Ukrainian forces have many tools in their arsenal to make sure the warheads meet their appointed foreheads—or trucks, trains, ferries, forward bases, and air defenses. Of all these tools, Starlink is one of the most problematic for the Russians because it’s reliable and jam-resistant. Still, it’s not jam-proof. The Russians have again begun deploying giant jammers, such as the Volna Kupol Garant, which can disrupt a satellite signal and protect an area of 20 square kilometers, Defense Ministry adviser Serhiy “Flash” Beskrestnov posted on 16 June. There are two problems though. The first is that they cost $1.5 million per system, require massive amounts of power, and are giant, having to be dragged around on six trailers. Which leads into the second: they’re being hunted and destroyed, as one was by the Security Service of Ukraine and the 422nd Separate Unmanned Systems Battalion Luftwaffe on 14 June. In the 422nd’s video of the strike, a Ukrainian strike drone maintains a perfect, uninterrupted video feed as it flies into the cluster of six trailers, while an observation drone nearby records the explos…

Expert reveals Russian electronic warfare work against Starlink Зв'язок Satellite communication Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Analytical analysis from military signalman Sergey Flesh dated June 16, 2026 reveals the technical behind-the-scenes of a new round of confrontation on the radio airwaves. The activation of Ukrainian Mid Strike class unmanned systems and the systematic maintenance of the "Logistics Lockdown" program forced the Russian command to get its most secret trump card - Starlink satellite communication terminal jamming systems. The evolution of countermeasures: why the Russian Federation returned to satellite jamming The history of attempts to suppress the Starlink satellite constellation has been going on since the very beginning of the full-scale invasion, but for a long time it had the character of isolated experiments. The first documented case of systematic radio-electronic pressure on the terminals of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was recorded in 2024 in the Kharkiv direction, but then the Russian station was almost instantly discovered by Ukrainian intelligence and destroyed by artillery fire. Until the beginning of 2026, there were no massive attempts to…

Russia's Guarantor Jammer Points to a New Tactical Threat to Starlink ... Russia is reportedly deploying a truck-mounted satellite jamming system designed to deny Starlink access to Ukrainian drones over a localized area. What it can and cannot do—and what it signals for U.S. drone communications acquisition—is the more consequential story. Video still from 422nd Separate Unmanned Systems Regiment / Armed Forces of Ukraine, via open-source video. Ukraine’s 422nd “Luftwaffe” Unmanned Systems Regiment—attached to the 17th Corps operating in central-southern Ukraine—has released videos showing two successful strikes on individual trailers of a Russian electronic warfare system called Volna Kupol Garant. The strikes are notable not just as battlefield footage but as a signal: the system appears effective enough to be worth attacking, and conspicuous enough to be vulnerable to drone strikes. The system being struck is Russia’s answer to a problem that has defined the air war in southern Ukraine: Starlink-equipped medium-range drones targeting Russian fuel logistics along the highway land bridge between Russian territory and Crimea, contributing to reported fuel shortages in the occupie…
