Russia is deploying powerful electronic warfare systems designed to disrupt Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet network as Moscow races to blunt Ukraine's advantageous ability to conduct long-range drone strikes capable of hitting military targets deep behind the front lines.
According to Ukrainian drone commanders and pilots interviewed by Reuters in the southern Zaporizhzhia region, Russian forces have significantly expanded their countermeasures against what Kyiv calls its "mid-strike" drone campaign. The effort includes sophisticated electronic jamming equipment, disguised military supply convoys, and new logistics tactics aimed at reducing the effectiveness of Ukrainian unmanned aircraft.
