Ukrainian forces target Russian electronic warfare assets amid Starlink dependencies

Ukrainian forces continue to target Russian electronic warfare and logistics assets in occupied regions of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia, including a specialised jamming station designed to disrupt Starlink communications, according to Ukraine's General Staff.

Satellite connectivity remains a critical component of Ukrainian front-line operations, supporting long-range drone strikes on Russian military targets, supply routes, and defense industrial facilities. Recent restrictions on the military-grade Starshield system have renewed discussions regarding potential operational vulnerabilities. However, military commanders emphasize that while satellite internet is essential for command-and-control efficiency, operational stability would endure even in the event of access disruptions.

Concurrently, both sides are expanding space-adjacent and satellite operations, with Ukrainian strikes targeting Russian aerospace manufacturing facilities while Russia deploys orbital counter-space capabilities and retaliatory ballistic missile strikes.
