Russia launches Starlink killer system: Russia has recently launched a new system named Kalinka. It is also known as ‘Starlink Killer’. It seems that Vladimir Putin has given a surprising answer to billionaire businessman Elon Musk. This new system has been designed to disrupt the signal of ‘Starlink’ of Elon Musk’s company SpaceX. Starlink has been in use by the Ukrainian military since February 2022, the day Russia declared war on Ukraine. Ukraine is using Starlink signals to attack Russia. Therefore, Russia has created a system that can intercept signals from Starlink terminals.
kalinka system
The Kalinka system was developed by the Russian Center for Unmanned Systems and Technologies. The use of this system will help in preventing Starlink signals from being detected.
limit of detection
“Kalinka will detect unmanned aerial vehicles and drones connected to Starlink from up to fifteen kilometers away,” said Andrey Bezrukov, president of Russia’s Center for Unmanned Systems and Technologies. The system is currently being tested in combat in Ukraine.
strategic advantage
The Kalinka system will help Russia identify Starlink terminals. This will stop Ukraine’s military operation. Especially drone attacks on Russia can be stopped.
integration
The Kalinka system is being integrated into not one, but several platforms. The system is being installed on boats, jet skis, helicopters and more. For this reason its signal can be received from different places.
Production
At present Kalinka is being produced on a very small scale. Production will depend on how successful it is and how much it is in demand for the Russian military.
Use of Starlink in the Army of Ukraine
This war started in February 2022. Since then, Starlink’s terminals have been of great importance to Ukraine. Even in areas where there was no network, communication was done with the help of Starlink and operations were carried out through drones. This has been a very important equipment for the Ukrainian army.
a worldwide concern
Kalinka is not a matter of concern only to Ukraine. This is a matter of concern for many countries. Therefore Kalinka can be beneficial for many countries. Since Starlink was being used in war, it was a matter of concern for many countries. Especially for China. Starlink is also on the radar of the Chinese military. China is also working on a system to block Starlink signals. It is possible that they may also ask for help from Russia.
