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

Russia’s latest Starlink satellite jammer shows high efficiency — expert The Volna Kupol Garant electronic warfare system is designed to interfere with Starlink communications. Rather than completely disabling the service, it temporarily ‘stuns’ individual satellites. This effect is limited to the period the satellite is within the operational range of the system.

  • The Volna Kupol Garant is an electronic warfare system.
  • It targets Starlink communications.
  • The system ‘stuns’ satellites rather than switching them off.
  • This ‘stunning’ effect lasts only while the satellite is over the system’s operational area.
