Russia plans to manufacture several hundred more electronic warfare systems designed to counter Starlink and Ukrainian drones. According to available information, the number is estimated at 300–400 such systems.

Serhiy "Flash" Beskresnov, an advisor to the President of Ukraine on the development of defense technology, reported this on Telegram.

Russian companies are purchasing components to manufacture another 300–400 electronic warfare systems designed to counter Starlink.

A single system can cover an area ranging from 15 to 25 square kilometers. The Russians are likely planning to use them to protect critical infrastructure in the occupied territories from Ukrainian drones.

At the same time, it is noted that similar approaches could be used against Russian “Rassvet” satellites in the future.

Recall that Serhiy “Flash” Beskresnov, a special advisor to the President of Ukraine on the development of defense technologies, stated that Russia may use Belarusian mobile networks to receive telemetry from Shahed attack drones. According to him, this does not involve remote control of the drones, but rather the transmission of information regarding their flight and the operation of their onboard systems.
