>The enemy has revealed information about a new electronic warfare system operating against Starlink
>More and more information is emerging about the mysterious Russian system for jamming the Starlink satellite signal. In an interview with the BBC, the adviser to the Ukrainian Defense Minister, Sergei Beskrestnov (call sign "Flash"), gave a detailed commentary on this new problem for the Ukrainian army, which is completely dependent on Elon Musk's satellite communications.
>The interview mentions the name of the system "Wave Dome Garant". The system consists of trailers equipped with two antennas that track the passage of a satellite and emit a powerful signal that destabilizes the communication of Starlink terminals over an area of up to 20 square kilometers.
>Each such antenna visually resembles an egg, inside which is hidden a satellite dish with a rotating mechanism. The antennas can be installed stationary or made mobile. The complex operates in a frequency range from 14 to 14.5 GHz and provides a range of communication blocking up to 16 kilometers. The system is capable of exerting an influence in a radius of 360 degrees in the azimuthal plane and 110 degrees in the angular plane, creating a kind of dome of jamming above itself. To operate the installation, only one operator is needed. The total weight is 120 kg. The cost is estimated at 150 million rubles.
>According to "Flash", the complex has a number of significant drawbacks: The main problem is the large number of satellites in Starlink. The system can only suppress the satellite that serves the area next to it, creating a protection around itself with a radius of 3-4 km. Another drawback is the simplicity of its direction-finding; The powerful radiation from the antennas is detected by NATO reconnaissance satellites, and interference in the satellite communication channels is immediately seen by the Starlink operator company SpaceX.
>It is also reported that this electronic warfare complex is produced by the company "Russian Dome", registered in Simferopol. However, the company itself does not publicize such information. At the moment, according to "Flash", the Russians are covering certain strategic objects with "Domes" and trying to ensure the safety of logistical routes in the south of the liberated territories.
