Starlink in danger? How Russia’s ‘Kalinka’ has become a headache for Elon Musk and a nightmare for Ukraine

Russia has introduced the Kalinka monitoring system, designed to detect and disrupt signals from SpaceX's Starlink satellites, a crucial tool in Ukraine's military operations. Developed by the Center for Unmanned Systems and Technologies (CBST), Kalinka can locate drones and communication nodes up to 15 kilometres away and is undergoing combat testing. With its potential to undermine Ukraines reliance on satellite communications, this development could alter the course of the conflict and poses broader concerns for the global use of satellite networks in warfare.
