21ST CENTURY WARFARE: Russia’s Newest Battlefield Weapon Is Aimed at Starlink.

A new ground-based electronic warfare (EW) system is Russia’s latest attempt to counter Starlink satellite communications, with each unit reportedly capable of jamming up to eight transmission bands simultaneously.

Named “Volna Kupol Grant,” the system directs high-frequency radio signals toward Starlink satellites, preventing them from receiving communications within its operating area.

According to its developer, this approach overloads the satellites’ onboard antennas, allowing military forces to disrupt communications without physically damaging the spacecraft.

Unlike conventional EW systems that focus on disrupting signals near the receiver, Volna Kupol Grant uses narrow-beam, high-frequency transmissions to target the satellites themselves.

It says something about the value of Starlink that Moscow has gone to all this trouble.
