On the day of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Kharkiv region, the terminals of Starlink were disconnected in the Armed Forces - WP

According to the Sergeant of the Armed Forces with the call sign "artist", due to the failure of Starlink systems, the connection with the intelligence drones "simply disappeared". On Friday, May 10, when the armed forces of the Russian Federation launched an offensive in the Kharkiv region, the 125th Brigade of Territorial Defense of Ukraine encountered problems in the work of Starlink satellite terminals. About it writes The Washington Post with reference to the Ukrainian military.

The publication states that the fighters of the 125th brigade used reconnaissance drones to observe the situation at the border of Kharkiv region with Russia. However, on the day of the invaders, the unit lost the possibility of video surveillance due to the action of Russian radio electronic fighting systems (EIT). It is reported that the Starlink terminals used to communicate completely disconnected. This is the second similar case since the start of a full -scale war in Ukraine.

"At some point, we remained completely blind," the UAV commander recalls. According to the sergeant with the call sign "artist", the failure of the terminals of Starlink has become a big problem, as the Ukrainian military lost the opportunity to observe the movement of enemy drones. He noted that the connection with the drone "just disappeared". We will remind, on May 10 the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched an offensive in Kharkiv region.
