USF destroys satellite antenna used by Russians as alternative to Starlink

According to Ukrinform, the "Raid" regiment stated this on Facebook and released a corresponding video.

The destruction of the antenna temporarily deprives Russian forces of the ability to quickly coordinate attacks by their infantry and drones in that area of the front.

The Yamal satellite network is presented by Russia as an alternative to the Starlink system. Yamal-601 is the newest component of this network; it was launched into orbit in 2019.

"The network of these satellites partially covers the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. Therefore, disabling each antenna connected to Yamal-601 provides an advantage to our military on the battlefield," the regiment noted.

As Ukrinform reported, in recent days the Unmanned Systems Forces have also struck relay networks on antennas and local communication systems that the Russian army has begun using as an alternative to Starlink terminals.
