From the beginning of a full -scale invasion, tanks have been used to interrupt the satellite signal and communication with commercial satellites. This approach was applied to managed bombs and drones, which is why Ukrainian operators had to act closer to their targets on the front line. But, it is reported that such tactics, in general, was not successful. "Russia, of course, would like to find a way to block Ukraine's access to Starlink.

But it is easier to think about it than to do - through the architecture of satellite constellations," said Brian Vienna, the head of the Secure World Foundation. As for radio electronic fight, Starlink signals are much more difficult to silence, so Russian hackers have not yet managed to break this system, he explained. The Starlink signal is more powerful and concentrated because the satellites operate in a lower orbit compared to geostationary analogues, it is noted on the Starlink website.
