Occupiers use Starlink to increase strike efficiency

The occupiers have started to intensively use illegally obtained Starlink communication terminals to increase the efficiency of drone and artillery strikes. This is reported by The Washington Post.

Journalists note that the use of this communication helps the Russians better coordinate their actions during offensive operations, use more drones, and more accurately guide artillery fire. Such capabilities are created despite US attempts to limit the leakage of technologies that are on the list of prohibited for export to Russia.

It is noted that the black market for Starlink is growing, allowing terminals to reach Russia and from there to the frontline. According to the Ukrainian military, the use of these systems contributed to the successes of the Russians in the Donetsk region, particularly in Vuhledar.

It is worth reminding that Russia installed Starlink on its own territory at the "Shahed" site. Using this system and an installed camera, the occupiers can use "Shahed" as a long-range munition with the ability to target and hit even moving targets.

Let me remind you that the US and SpaceX have learned to combat the illegal use of Starlink terminals by the occupiers.

Additionally, the Armed Forces of Ukraine detect 12,000 enemy units of equipment weekly thanks to the AI platform Avengers developed by the Innovation Center of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense.
