In addition to using Starlink terminals for unjammable communications, some Russian "Molniya-2" strike UAVs mount fiber optic coils for the same purpose. This would limit the maximum range of the UAV, but fiber coils must be easier for the Russians to acquire than Starlinks.

The Molniya-P is a high-speed variant of the ubiquitous Russian Molniya strike UAV, designed to intercept Ukrainian reconnaissance and strike UAVs. Shortening the wings has increased its maximum speed to up to 270 km/h, compared to around 150 km/h for the standard version. 1/

The Russians report a new Ukrainian pulse EW jamming UAV accompanied the recent UAV strike on Sochi. Pulse jammers send out brief, intense bursts of energy to disrupt radar and communications systems. The Russians admit this resulted in the failure of some of their air defenses.

Now that Musk has turned off access for the Russian Army to the illegal Starlinks previously used for drone strikes, some Russians are calling on Putin to reach out to Lukashenko for help. Belarus claims that their scientists have developed their own domestic Starlink system

A Russian fiber optic FPV deployed as a “waiter” on a road is equipped with a second, rear-facing camera. Ukrainian ground units that have eliminated these ambush FPVs by approaching from the rear aspect to shoot the FPV or cut the fiber cable must be wary of this development.

The Russians have started using OZM-72 anti-personnel landmines as warheads for “Molniya” strike UAVs. The steel container holding the mine body (with its chopped steel-rod fragmentation elements) is removed to save weight, as the bounding function it contains is not needed.
