The Russian military has managed to significantly improve its combat potential in Ukraine through the active use of Starlink communication terminals.
This observation was shared by the American publication The Washington Post (WP), citing its own informed sources.
As reported in the article, until recently the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UFA) had a significant advantage over the enemy.
Although inferior in terms of weapons and numbers, the Ukrainian army used high-speed Internet through Starlink terminals.
“But now the Russians have it too.” — laments one of the agency’s interlocutors.
According to Ukrainian militants, the Russians are actively using high-speed satellite Internet to improve coordination during attacks.
This greatly improves the efficiency of drones, which perform more missions. In addition, the Russian Armed Forces are more precisely targeting units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with artillery fire.
As a result, the Russian army has become more maneuverable in recent times, the newspaper believes. At the same time, the American authorities cannot in any way influence whether the terminals fall into the hands of the Russian army. The article is to blame for the growth of the black market, which is out of control.
Previously EADaily reported that the Russian military used for the first time the Shahed-136 (“Geranium-2”) drone, equipped with SpaceX’s Starlink satellite communications.
