"Will be difficult": new details of using Starlink by Russians in Ukraine (photo)

According to Brian Clark's Hudzonov Institute of Hudzonov, the occupiers can give a false signal to the Starlink GPS to think that the user is in the territory controlled by Ukraine. The Russian Federation probably uses SpaceX Starlink Satellite devices in Ukraine. About it writes Defense One on February 9, citing its sources. It is reported that according to the Ukrainian source, the fact that the Russians use Starlink on the front line was discovered by the military several months ago.

Another Ukrainian source stated that the use of these devices seems to be growing. There are currently dozens of terminals. "When there are hundreds, it will be difficult for us to live," the source said. According to the author of the publication, the use of Starlink by Russian troops exacerbates the problems faced by the Ukrainian military. According to the source, the Russians have the opportunity to buy Starlinks from abroad. "It has been bought through third parties.

I am amazed that they have not done so before," the interlocutor said. The Senior Researcher at the Hudsonic Institute of Brian Clark believes that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation may be hidden by the use of Starlink from SpaceX. In his opinion, Russians can give a false signal to the GPS terminal Starlink to think that the user is in the territory controlled by Ukraine.

For his part, engineer from Kiev Oleg Kutkov, who deals with Starlink terminals for military Ukraine, reported an increase in the number of complaints about the stability of communication and speed on the forefront. According to Kutkov, the terminals are actively purchasing and redeemed by Russian resellers, which they do not hide at all. "The purchase goes through third countries, on false persons. Payment goes the same.

It is impossible to track and cover these schemes, because our volunteers are also" vacuuming in all countries, "terminals and also pay from different cards," he said. We will remind, on February 8 Ukrainian military, radio technologies expert Sergey Beskrestnov with the call sign "Flash" confirmed the technical possibility of Russians to use the satellite connection of Starlink on the occupied part of Ukraine. SpaceX responded to the use of Starlink on February 8.
