"Starlink"Sputnik: a new toy for the Russian military? French mercenary ** investigation revealed.
In the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, "Starlink" has brought great help to Ukraine, and even caused dissatisfaction in Russia. The Russian side has indicated at the United Nations that it will not rule out the possibility of attacking "Starlink" and regard it as a "reasonable target" for "indirect participation in military conflicts." This statement can be described as powerful and shocking.
However, it will not be easy to completely destroy Starlink. At present, the number of "Starlink" satellites is nearly 5,700, and even if they have the ability to attack, it will take a huge amount of time and resources. Therefore, after some sober thinking, Russia's condemnation of "Starlink" gradually decreased.
However, the Russian side did not give up. Recently, there was a shocking news from Ukraine that revealed the reasons why Russia is no longer actively attacking Starlink. According to Wall Street**, the Russian army is making extensive use of the "Starlink" system developed by SpaceX, which has deprived the Ukrainian army of a major battlefield advantage. What is even more surprising is that the "Starlink" used by the Russian army is faster and more stable in transmission, in stark contrast to the frequent "network disconnections" that Ukraine has had before.
Musk claimed to have no knowledge of this discovery, but how did the Russian army obtain the "Starlink" system? The answer is actually not difficult to understand. As early as when Russia accused Ukraine of using "Starlink", there was evidence that the Russian army had captured a large number of "Starlink" terminal equipment on the battlefield, including one of the NATO ** that Ukraine claimed to have lost. In addition, the Russian army may have obtained "Starlink" through a variety of channels, including prisoner exchanges, purchases, etc.
However, what does this finding mean for Ukraine? The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine pointed out that the widespread use of the "Starlink" system by the Russian army will weaken the advantage of the Ukrainian army on the battlefield. Starlink has played a key role in Ukraine's past attacks, and now Russia has the technology to change the situation.
Not long ago, France's Macron said that if Russia wins, the international order will be threatened. However, the Russian side not only mocked Macron's remarks, but also carried out a fierce attack in Kharkiv, which resulted in the death of at least 60 French mercenaries. This incident was undoubtedly a major blow to France and a strong message to the world.
From this incident, it is not difficult for us to see the ability of the Russian army to use "Starlink" to obtain intelligence, as well as its impact on Ukraine. Ukraine is facing many challenges, and Russia's actions have undoubtedly increased tensions. This conflict is not only about the two countries, but also affects the international order and stability. How to solve this crisis has become a top priority.
