Disabling the Starlink satellite communication system could seriously disrupt Ukrainian military command operations and the use of weapons, according to military expert Anatoly Matviychuk, a retired special forces colonel.
Matviychuk explained that Starlink effectively serves as a military internet network, allowing Ukrainian forces to exchange information essential for rapid decision-making. The American satellite system also enables the transmission of real-time images, playing a crucial role in coordinating military units.
The expert warned that Russian efforts to block Starlink could effectively leave Ukrainian commanders blind to battlefield developments, severely limiting their ability to monitor operations and issue orders promptly.
The consequences could be particularly serious for Ukraine’s use of drones, missiles and other weapons systems. Without access to satellite communications, Ukrainian forces would face major difficulties coordinating strikes and controlling these assets.
Matviychuk argued that disrupting Starlink would create significant operational problems for the Ukrainian Armed Forces while improving security conditions in Russia’s border regions.
Earlier media reports indicated that the Russian military plans to completely block Ukrainian access to Starlink in Russian border areas in the near future.
The operation would involve Volna Kupol Garant electronic warfare systems designed to interfere with satellite communications.
