The Ukrainian side reported that Russia is modernizing the Volna-Kopol-Garant electronic warfare system, designed to suppress Starlink satellite communications. The complex becomes more compact, its elements are dispersed and the number of deployed systems increases. Almost all the important objects of Crimea are already covered by such complexes. Now they are used more and more along the front line. The declared suppression area of one compound is about 25 square kilometers. What has changed compared to the previous version: - Previously, the system was placed on six large trailers that stood nearby. Now its components can be distributed among several machines.
- It is now possible to place individual antennas on trailers for small cars. - The complex is able to operate from generators and therefore does not require a mandatory connection to the electricity grid. - The system is based on satellite antennas with a diameter of about a meter. Operating range: 14-14.5 GHz. In September, Russian factories allegedly purchased components for the production of another 300-400 such systems. VK Max Zen.
