| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited [Regnum] Russia has acquired a new electronic warfare (EW) system, the Volna Kupol Garant, which jams the Starlink satellite communications system at the tactical level. This was reported on June 16 by the Abzats news agency, citing sources. The publication noted that experts were interested in the stated characteristics of the electronic warfare system, including its range and design features. According to Ukrainian sources, the system consists of six trailer modules, each equipped with two satellite antennas with rotating mechanisms. The antennas are housed under radio-transparent protective covers. The system's design allows the equipment to be removed from the trailers and placed on a single platform or on the ground, if necessary. On June 12, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia had created a satellite communications system similar to the American Starlink. Putin noted that the system was being implemented and clarified that it would be in no way inferior to Starlink and perhaps even superior. |
