Russian electronic warfare creates serious interference with Western satellites over Crimea

The European satellite Sentinel-1 once again tried to film the Crimean region and the territories adjacent to the peninsula to monitor the situation with Russian weapons and manpower. However, it was not possible to take high-quality photographs.

The satellite images came out blurry and colored because Western equipment Russian electronic warfare systems interfered. Sentinel-1 takes pictures at 5,405 GHz, and electronic warfare systems adjusted to this data, exposing the frames received by the satellite.



The image demonstrates the result of the work of technical equipment of the Russian Armed Forces, which created interference for a European aircraft with oncoming radiation.

Meanwhile, the Russian Federation is quite capable of destroying Starlink satellites owned by companies associated with American billionaire Elon Musk. These devices help the Ukrainian Armed Forces control drones.

As the British newspaper The Telegraph wrote, based on expert opinions, space satellites are not subject to the Geneva Convention if they are used by one of the parties to an armed conflict. In this regard, the publication recalled the words of Musk himself, who defined the main purpose of satellites in providing Internet communications and the operation of streaming services.
