Russia deploys object-protection EW systems to jam Starlink in Crimea

Bottom line

Russian forces are deploying object-protection EW systems with ~25 sq km coverage to jam Starlink communications across Crimea and along the front lines.

Why it matters

The deployment of these EW systems poses a direct threat to Ukrainian drone operations reliant on Starlink for command and control. NATO and Ukrainian forces must assess the impact on drone connectivity and consider alternative communication strategies.

Russian sources report the deployment of object-protection electronic warfare systems designed to jam Starlink communications across Crimea and increasingly along the front lines. These systems, often masked as trucks or trailers, provide coverage of approximately 25 square kilometers. However, their effectiveness is limited by the requirement for zenith visibility, which hinders their ability to remain fully camouflaged during operations.

    Наш противник продовжує збільшувати кількість систем супутникової радіоелектронної боротьби (РЕБ), які заважають роботі «Старлінк». Система працює за принципом об’єктного прикриття приблизно на площі 25 кв. кілометрів. Росіяни закрили цим типом РЕБ майже всі важливі об’єкти Криму
