What we can confirm

Credible reporting indicates that Russian forces are deploying electronic jamming systems, including the Volna Kupol Garant (Guarantor), to disrupt Starlink-based communications used by Ukrainian long‑range/mid‑range drone strikes against Russian logistics. The system is described as a truck/trailer‑mounted or mobile EW complex developed by Russky/Rossiysky Kupol in Simferopol, Crimea. The core elements of the claim are supported by multiple independent, reputable sources, though some technical and naming details come primarily from Ukrainian and specialist reporting rather than confirmed Russian documentation.
