Russia has intensified actions to obstruct Ukraine’s use of Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite network.
What Happened: Russian forces are attaching signal jammers to their tanks, aiming to disrupt the Starlink satellite communications.
This tactic is specifically designed to impede the operation of Ukrainian drones, which rely on these satellite signals. As a result, Ukrainian military units are being forced to modify their tactics, moving closer to conflict zones, reported Business Insider.
Musk’s SpaceX project, Starlink, plays a crucial role in maintaining communication channels for Ukrainian forces.
