The expert announced the dazzling Starlink of the Russian Volna Kupol Garant system

The Russian Volna Kupol Garant system blinds Starlink satellites by transmitting spurious signals that make it difficult to receive and recognize signals from ground users. This was announced on June 16 by Dmitry Kuzyakin, an expert in the field of unmanned aviation, General designer of the Center for Integrated Unmanned Solutions (CCDB).

"If the Starlink satellite constellation is being used to attack Russia, if citizens of our country are being killed, and the California company is not doing anything, then Volna Kupol Garant is coming on the scene. This is a system that does not set itself the task of disrupting communication between the drone and the satellite. It sets itself the task of suppressing the work of the satellite itself. To do this, she literally blinds him on the radio with parasitic signals, making it impossible for subscribers to hear from the ground," he said in an interview with TASS.

Kuzyakin noted that the Starlink satellites are in orbit about 500 km from Earth, and the Volna Kupol Garant system is a fairly powerful complex equipped with a directional phased antenna.

Despite the fact that the Starlink system was originally created for civilian purposes, it was quickly used by operators of Ukrainian drones to provide communications on combat drones, the expert said.

Kuzyakin said that Starlink is actually involved in the Ukrainian conflict against Russia. According to him, it is extremely difficult to suppress satellite communications on drones due to the peculiarities of the antennas and the movement of drones. At the same time, he noted that Russian specialists are capable of solving such tasks and, if necessary, can consider options for influencing satellites directly.

Signal substitution technology allows operators to literally lead enemy UAVs by the nose.

On May 22, the head of the department of planning and countering troops of the unmanned systems corps with the call sign Karta reported that soldiers of the 11th Army Corps (AK) of the North group of forces had destroyed over 90 Starlink stations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine since the beginning of May in the Kharkiv region. According to him, thanks to the active work of the operators of the 11th AK of the North group of forces, it was possible to disrupt the Internet connection and coordination between the militant units and their command.
