Russia has developed a new system of direction finding of Starlink satellite Internet terminals, which are actively used by the Ukrainian army. The new complex, called "Borschevik", is already completing tests.
The private company "Sestroretsky Armory" has developed a complex "Borshchevik", designed for the direction finding of operating terminals of the satellite Internet Starlink. According to the developers, the complex allows you to detect the location of the terminal at a distance of 10 km in the 180 degree sector, while the error will not exceed 60 meters. The direction finding time of one point is no more than 15 minutes.
Data on the location of Starlink terminals are displayed using a modern graphical interface with the ability to connect topographic maps of the area.
Little is known about the complex itself, it is reported that it is mobile, i.e. it is installed on a ground chassis. This, in turn, allows you to use "Borschevik" in the area of the contact line and, if necessary, quickly change the location.
It is worth noting that the Starlink satellite Internet system is actively used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to provide communication and control, disconnecting terminals or failures in their operation negatively affect the combat capability of the Ukrainian army. The APU is modeled after the US Army, where great importance is attached to obtaining operational information, including using all types of intelligence, including satellite. As the military operations within the framework of the SVO have already shown, the use of electronic warfare systems that jam the communication of Ukrainian units leads to complete confusion and large losses of the Armed Forces.
