SpaceX founder Elon Musk said Russia has succeeded in jamming every communications system used by Ukraine expect his Starlink internet service, but it's costing him significant resources to protect it.
"SpaceX is spending significant resources combating Russian jamming efforts," Musk said via X on Friday. "This is a tough problem. They have succeeded in shutting down every communications system, except Starlink."
However, the Western media reported earlier, citing Ukrainian officials, that Russia has deployed advanced technology that has disrupted Ukraine's use of the Starlink service on the battlefield.
Moreover, another Western media outlet said that Russia has also been able to jam guidance systems of modern Western weapons such as the Excalibur GPS-guided artillery shells and the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS.
The report said Ukrainian officials are pressing the US Defense Department to address this issue by having US arms manufacturers upgrade these weapons systems to overcome Russian jamming.
