Peresvet-M
Starlink/SATCOM jammer (site protection)
Russian jammer against Starlink terminals, fielded after Starlink was cut off for Russian units in February 2026. According to Ukrainian adviser Serhii “Flash” Beskrestnov, the system floods the terminal's uplink channel and denies Starlink over about 20 km² — a local protective bubble around key sites, including in Crimea. Bulky and power-hungry, and therefore a target itself: Ukraine claims to have destroyed at least five such jammers since June 2026. Not to be confused with the Peresvet laser system. Claims from the Ukrainian side, not independently confirmed.

Russia adapts to Ukraine's middle-strike drone campaign with mobile fire groups, Rubicon interceptors and Starlink jammers
According to a Kyiv Independent field report from the southern front, Russian forces have adapted to Ukraine's expanded "middle strike" campaign. That campaign uses drones against targets from roughly 35 km (the end of FPV range) out to about 300 km behind the line. Within weeks of the campaign being scaled up in the south, Russia changed logistics routes a…
