Starlink and Russia

Post by mister_coffee »

Well, apparently Starlink has worked out how to block Starlink for the Russian Military without also blocking the Ukrainian Military from using Starlink in the same areas. This is harder than it seemed.

And it horribly screws over the Russians. A lot of their drones use Starlink for guidance and control (there are huge advantages, not least that you can control a lot more drones and it is much, much harder to jam) and their military communications network, especially close to the front lines, totally depends on Starlink (for similar reasons).
