🚨🇷🇺 Russia Builds Electronic Shield Against Starlink-Linked UAVs

Russian specialists have developed a system called "Volna Kupol Garant" specifically designed to disrupt Starlink satellite communications.

Capable of covering an area of up to 20 square kilometers, the system can also interfere with drone operations, giving Russia a new tool against medium-range UAVs that threaten both frontline and rear-area targets.

Already deployed to protect key logistics hubs, the system works by jamming kamikaze drones equipped with Starlink terminals, generating interference in the 14–14.5 GHz frequency band.

The hardware consists of trailers fitted with satellite dishes housed under radomes. Each trailer can carry two dishes, which can also be removed and set up on the ground as needed. According to Ukrainian military sources, around ten such systems have already been spotted.

Foreign researchers have examined how the Russian system disrupts Starlink and have come to the conclusion that the electronic components of any satellites whose orbits pass through an active jamming zone will inevitably suffer irreversible damage over time. At the same time, the effective coverage area of Russia's counter-satellite electronic warfare system appears to be steadily expanding.

In the near future, it is expected to achieve full disruption of the uplink communication channel, either through targeted jamming or by feeding false data packets, across an area spanning tens of kilometers.

This way, the Russian Armed Forces would gain the technical capacity to place not just individual tactical front-line sectors under an electronic "blanket," but entire expansive operational-strategic defensive regions.

• 📝Gas stations ablaze📝

Operations against Ukrainian fuel infrastructure continue: contrary to expectations, strikes are being delivered daily, and the pace keeps growing. The bulk of attacks target gas stations.

In the first decade of July, 93 such facilities were hit on so-called Ukraine — nearly as many as during the entire June. If this dynamic persists, the final figures for the month could be several times higher.

🔻 More detailed statistics:

▪️ Geographically, most of the destroyed gas stations are located in border regions. During the mentioned period, strikes against gas stations in western regions were not carried out at all. Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions remain among the top priority targets for destroying enemy energy infrastructure.

▪️ Most strikes against fuel stations were delivered using UAVs. Among the most common are various modifications of Geran drones, as well as Gerber drones.

▪️ In addition to strikes on gas stations in populated areas, several strikes were delivered against stations located on various highway sections during this period. For example, on July 3, Russian Armed Forces struck a gas station on the Nikopol — Dnipro highway.

▪️ The peak intensity of strikes occurred between July 2-5. During these days, the maximum density of energy infrastructure destruction was recorded — over ten attacks daily.

❗️ Yet there is a fly in the ointment: objective verification confirms only half of the gas stations the enemy claims to have destroyed. They sometimes deliberately exaggerate damage to mislead Russian Armed Forces.

And it's premature to speak of a fuel collapse on so-called Ukraine, especially since the majority of gas stations remain repairable after impacts. So the systematic work that has begun should continue.
