Specialists from the Center for Unmanned Systems and Technologies began testing the Kalinka detection system, which allows drones to detect and track signals from satellite communication systems, including Starlink, Center’s CEO Andrey Bezrukov said on December 14 at the 22nd Congress of the United Russia Party.
According to the CEO, unmanned vessels and drones like Baba Yaga, which operate through Starlink terminals, were previously detected visually.
“The special Kalinka detection system allows you to detect an unmanned vessel at a distance of up to 15 km, catch up with it and hit it with a machine gun. Small-scale production has been established, the product is being tested in combat conditions,” Bezrukov noted.
The representative of the company explained that with the help of Kalinka an advanced search of Starlink terminals is made to calculate stationary nodes of satellites “on the ground” in the zone of Russia’s special military operation. Kalinka can be mounted on helicopters or jet skis and boats, equipped with a turret for a large-caliber machine gun, emphasized Bezrukov.
