Russian drones equipped with Starlink satellite terminals are already reaching the city of Dnipro.
This was reported by Serhii Beskrestnov (Flash), a radio communications and electronic warfare specialist and adviser to the defense minister, Censor.NET reports.
What is known?
According to him, unlike the "Molniya," this Russian drone is "fuel-powered" and can fly up to 500 kilometers.
"The issue of ‘Starlink’ for the enemy is becoming increasingly relevant," Flash added.
Modernisation of Shahed drones
- As reported earlier, Russia is increasingly equipping strike drones with Starlink satellite terminals. This allows the drones to maintain control and navigation even under intensive signal jamming.
- As reported, Russia is likely developing a new type of anti-satellite weapon designed to disable Starlink satellites by creating a cloud of debris in orbit.
According to intelligence assessments, Moscow may be preparing an attack that would generate dense clouds of small debris in orbit. They could simultaneously damage or destroy several satellites. The aim of such a weapon is to weaken the West’s space capabilities, primarily those systems that support Ukraine in combat operations.
