Ukrainian army destroys Russian electronic warfare systems designed to jam Starlink
Ukrainian security forces reported today, June 16, 2026, on the successful strike against Russian electronic warfare (EW) systems of the "Volna," "Kupol," and "Garant" types. According to a report by the Бавовна △ channel, which is associated with staunch pro-Ukrainian positions, the systems were destroyed in the Zaporizhzhia sector, where they were used to protect Russian logistics routes by jamming Starlink satellite signals.
The topic also made headlines on the UA Stream channel, which reports that Ukrainian Ministry of Defense advisor Sergey "Flash" Beskrestnov revealed Russia's massive use of this technology. According to him, the Russians began deploying these measures in response to successful Ukrainian strikes on their logistics arrays.
In the description of the systems, nicknamed for their shape "each antenna looks like an egg" (according to UA Stream), it was noted that their value is estimated at approximately $1.5 million per unit. Ukrainian officials described the destruction of the systems as a significant achievement, with Бавовна △ emphasizing that these are systems designed to radiate powerful interference specifically intended to neutralize the connectivity of the American satellite network.
As of now, the Ukrainian effort to locate and destroy these Russian technological assets via attack drones continues, with the goal of maintaining tactical communication continuity on the front.
