Russia Develops “Kalinka” to Counter Starlink and Ukraine’s Defense

Russia’s advanced “Kalinka” system is a potential threat to Starlink’s operations in Ukraine.

Russia has reportedly developed an advanced detection system known as the “Kalinka monitoring system,” which poses a significant threat to the Starlink network utilized by Ukraine and its allies.

The system can locate signals from unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UAVs) that rely on satellite connections such as those provided by Starlink, raising concerns for the US billionaire Elon Musk and Ukraine’s military strategy.

The “Kalinka,” dubbed the ‘Starlink killer,’ was created by Russia’s Center for Unmanned Systems and Technologies (CBST) and has been tested in Ukraine. According to Andrey Bezrukov, chairman of the CBST board, this sophisticated technology enables Russian forces to detect and target Starlink terminals effectively. The system’s efficacy in identifying UAVs extends to aerial and maritime drones up to 15 kilometres away, depending on terrain and opposing electronic systems.

Bezrukov highlighted that the Kalinka’s ability to pinpoint communications extends even to Starshield terminals, a militarized variant of Starlink. The timeline for mass production of this system hinges on the demand from Russian military operations in the conflict zone.

Operated by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, Starlink is a revolutionary satellite internet service that offers high-speed broadband globally. It functions through a constellation of small satellites in low Earth orbit, enabling data transmission akin to fibre optic technology. This network has been pivotal for Ukrainian forces, particularly in enhancing communications for drone operations and strategic military coordination against Russian advancements.

The advancement represents a possible change in electronic warfare, highlighting the shifting challenges in satellite communication security during ongoing conflicts.
