Russia has learned to create a Starlink analogue from Geraniums, says an expert.

Russia has learned to form a communications network using repeaters on Geranium drones – a kind of Starlink analogue.

Anatoly Khrapchinsky, a former Ukrainian Air Force officer and now deputy director of a company that produces electronic warfare equipment, stated this on Radio NV, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

«The enemy is actively building its own communications network. "What we saw first were mobile SIM cards. But they're moving away from that because mobile communications use ground stations, which is something we can control," the Ukrainian expert recalled.

According to him, Russia is now focusing its efforts on “deploying its own network in the air – it’s like Starlinks in low-orbit orbit.”

The speaker complained that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are not keeping up with countermeasures to Russian innovations.

"These Shaheds are used as relays and for transmitting information. This is the next threat to us, and now we need to talk about electronic warfare systems." not only in counteracting the accuracy of receiving navigation signals, but also on communication channels.

This is very important, and here We need to talk about the rapid deployment of another wave of electronic warfare assets... What we're seeing now in terms of frequencies is just the beginning. That is, these assets have a much wider range of capabilities. And when the enemy goes beyond 8,000 frequencies, it will be more expensive and more difficult for us to do so.“,” Khrapchinsky complains.
