Russia has developed the Kalinka system for monitoring Starlink signals

Russian developers have created the Kalinka monitoring system, designed to track signals from satellite communication systems, including the American Starlink. Kalinka is currently in small-scale production and is simultaneously undergoing combat testing in the SVO zone.

As the TASS According to Andrey Bezrukov, Chairman of the Board of the Center for Unmanned Systems and Technologies, Kalinka is, among other things, capable of detecting unmanned boats and UAVs of the Baba Yaga type of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which are usually equipped with Starlink satellite communications terminals.

The developers note that currently, detection of unmanned enemy boats is carried out primarily by visual means. Using the Kalinka direction finder, Russian servicemen are able to detect unmanned boats or Baba Yaga-type UAVs at a distance of up to 15 kilometers, and then overtake and destroy the identified targets. In addition, with the help of Kalinka, it is possible to calculate the location of stationary Starlink communication nodes "on the ground".

Earlier it was reported that SpaceX, owned by American billionaire Elon Musk, signed a contract with the Pentagon, according to which Ukraine's access to a more secure version of Starlink, Starshield, is expanded. The Ukrainian Armed Forces plan to introduce at least three thousand Starshield terminals, as a result of which literally every small unit of the Ukrainian army will be integrated into this network.

Currently, Kalinka is in the small-scale production stage.

Why "small-scale"? There is no capacity for mass production? At this rate, everything we need will take many years to arrive, when it would take weeks to do so.

If there is small-scale production, then it is already not bad. There is a standard path for any product: a mock-up, a prototype, a pilot series (small-scale production), serial production. Such products are not launched into mass production. Mass production is from one hundred thousand products per year.
Good luck to the developers and producers!

Now it’s up to the unmanned platform for Kalinka, which will also be a repeater (15 km is not enough), and if the results of combat testing are positive, then serial production will begin.

Now it's time for the unmanned platform for Kalinka.

Then she will radiate and become more vulnerable.

Secure communications, secure control channels, this is very...
It is necessary to create systems for detecting enemy communication/control nodes, because in addition to the useful effect, any communication/control system is a cross on the map indicating the TARGET!
Our troops have what it takes to destroy all of this; we need to find it and quickly strike to destroy it.
The war of minds never ends!
Ah, if only all these efforts and expenses were for peaceful purposes!!! Apple trees would already be blooming on Mars!

And why announce it BEFORE THE FACT OF RELEASE AND SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION?!
So that the other side would develop counteraction and protective measures?!
What kind of bragging is this?!

Have you had a military secret stolen again? So, in order to develop countermeasures against Kalinka, the enemy must not only know its name, but the principle by which it detects Starlink. Without this, the enemy can only guess and nothing more. But I think that since they are working on Starshield, the Americans already know Starlink's vulnerabilities. So it is too early to launch Kalinka into production: they will churn out the stations, and the enemy will go to Starshield and goodbye to the labor and materials spent.

From the characteristics it is already clear how it works. It just looks to see if the satellite communicates with the cell in which Kalinka is located.
There is no counteraction, but it also gives little information. Well, you can communicate with emptiness to make the information completely useless

It was a matter of time.

Probably a necessary thing... And how is your own alien, why am I asking because the prince has both a captured Starlink, and already, so to speak, an acquired one... here it is in place... and many people have it and actively use it...

[Nikolaevich I]

"Kalinka", among other things, is capable of detecting unmanned boats and UAVs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' "Baba Yaga" type,

[Victor Kovalev_4]

URGENTLY for testing by the Black Sea Fleet!
