"Priority goals": the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation use in the east a colossal number of satellite systems
The expert on military communication and consultant in the field of military radio technologies Sergey "Flash" Beskrestnov in a comment for "Investigation. Info" told more about their influence. According to him, Ukrainian defenders now use Starlink systems, which are able to use many satellites and the antenna at the same time. Accordingly, such a device can be placed anywhere in the world.
Old systems work on the principle of satellite television - they hang at one point and should be directed to the satellite. The main disadvantage of such a system is the signal delay. "Russia is covered by two groups of their satellites -" Yamal "and" Express ". " Yamal "are commercial satellites belonging to" Gazprom "," Express "is a state network. These both networks provide the needs of the military.
Front pictures, you can see a lot of "plates" there, especially in Kharkiv region, which are directed in one way - where "satellites" hang "satellites of these two networks. groups, "said Sergei Beskrestov. GILAT has been supplies to such systems to Russia since the early 2000s. Nowadays, Gazprom will not be seen on the site among partners, however, it is likely that Russians continue to use the equipment of this firm.
Accordingly, if there is a satellite terminal on the front of the invaders with the inscription "Gazprom", then it is likely to be a Gilat. It is definitely impossible to say that it was a targeted purchase for military or ordinary people bought systems in the store and transferred to the battlefield. Ukrainian defenders regularly conduct air intelligence and notice more and more enemy satellites that they cannot hide. It is a diameter of 90-100 centimeters, which should stand in the open space.
Defense forces immediately understand that these occupiers are used for satellite Internet. "Since these satellites are" hanging "for Russia's servicing, they capture only the eastern part of the front. Kharkiv direction, Kupyansk, estuar and down to Bakhmut - in this part there are very many. Satellite systems appear more and more. I teach guys how to recognize them, we destroy them, for us it is a priority goals, " - continues Sergei Beskrestnov.
