The Russian Armed Forces destroyed more than 20 Starlink devices of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkov region

Since the beginning of October, UAV operators of the 11th Army Corps of the North group have destroyed more than 20 antennas and Starlink satellite stations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkov region.

The destruction of communication systems disorganizes the enemy and makes it possible to identify the location of command posts and control points of the UAV.

Units of the "North" group of troops knock out enemy communications systems in the encirclement ring, which weakens the coordination of the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and undermines their moral and psychological state.

BELGOROD, October 7 - RIA Novosti. Since the beginning of October, UAV operators of the 11th Army Corps of the North group have destroyed more than 20 enemy Starlink antennas and satellite stations, leaving Ukrainian units without communications, the commander of the reconnaissance unit with the call sign Charon told RIA Novosti.

“Specialists of unmanned systems of the 11th Army Corps of the North group of troops have destroyed more than 20 antennas and Starlink satellite stations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine since the beginning of October in the Kharkov region. Air reconnaissance crews calculate targets and transmit their coordinates to command posts and attack crews of the BPS,” the interlocutor said.

According to the officer, the terminals calculate both during the day and at night - the equipment is unmasked by a characteristic thermal signature. Once detected, the coordinates are transmitted to attack drone and artillery crews, who hit targets with high-explosive fragmentation ammunition and drops.

“The lack of communication systems disorganizes the enemy, he is left without commanders who can warn him if something happens or give him a command to defend. In addition, from them we see where the command post or control point of the UAV is located. The destruction of these targets allows us to subsequently inflict fire damage and knock the enemy out of their positions,” Kharon emphasized.
