MOSCOW, November 10. /TASS/. Russia’s latest electronic warfare system, the Volna Kupol Garant, which effectively counters the Starlink satellite system, will protect all key facilities along Russia’s border in the near future, a source in the Russian defense-industrial complex told TASS.
"In early 2026, testing of this advanced Volna Kupol Garant system was successfully completed, and mass production began early this year. Naturally, I cannot tell you where these devices are located right now. Their current production volume, production rate, and quantity are, of course, far from sufficient. In other words, not everything is covered by the Volna Kupol Garant yet, but there is a deployment plan. "Soon, all significant facilities in the border areas - in Novorossiya, Shakhty, Rostov, Kuban, as well as the Belgorod and Kursk Regions, that are targeted by the Ukrainian armed forces - will be covered by Volna Kupol Garant systems," said the source.
The source stressed that the enemy is using hacked Starlink terminals, which operate over Russian territory and allow them to control drones, sabotage groups, and uncrewed boats to attack infrastructure facilities and kill Russian citizens. "This is unacceptable. Therefore, Russia has always reserved - and continues to reserve - the right to interfere with the operation of the Starlink satellite system to ensure the safety of its citizens. It is not necessary to shoot down a satellite to do this. It is sufficient to aim a powerful electromagnetic pulse at its receiving antennas to disable the device through which the satellite communicates with ground terminals," the source noted.
According to earlier reports, Russia has launched mass production of the Volna Kupol Garant system.
