Military review: the latest Russian electronic warfare complex "Tirada" could suppress Elon Musk's satellites

The latest Russian electronic warfare system "Tirada" could be used against Starlink satellite Internet in Ukraine.

The newest Russian system is capable of suppressing communications, and, according to Russian journalists, it was the Tirada family of electronic warfare systems that could become an effective means of countering satellite communications, which played an important role in organizing the military communications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“Connection to the network “fell” in several regions at once: Kharkiv, Zaporozhye, Kherson, as well as in a number of territories of the DPR and LPR. And it's been going on for more than a day now. Equipment vendors have suggested that everything that is happening is the result of Starlink's protective measures due to unauthorized access attempts. However, officials from Elon Musk's company have so far refrained from commenting. Meanwhile, a different, and very logical, version is being put forward: the Russian military decided to use the Tirada-2S satellite communications electronic jamming system (REPS) in combat conditions., - report the journalists of the publication "Military Review".

The true capabilities of this electronic warfare system are still classified, however, Tirada is considered one of the promising means of electronic warfare.

Elon Musk's company recognizes the disrupted operation of the Starlink satellite Internet, however, they do not make any explanations on this matter. This indicates the fact that the shutdown of satellites over the territory of Ukraine is not planned.
