He was afraid of "Mini-Perel Harbora": the engineers mask disrupted attacks of sea drones near the Crimea-the media

Last year, Ilon Musk secretly ordered his engineers to turn off Satellite Starlink in the Crimean coast to prevent Ukraine's secret operations that were aimed at the Black Sea Fleet ships. About it reports CNN with reference to the new biography of the billionaire by Walter Isaxon, which is published recently. (By the way, for his book the author chose a very simple name: "Ilon Musk".

) When the explosives of the Armed Forces were approaching Russian ships, the connection was missing-and they were thrown away without any harm to the Russian Fleet on the shore. The authors of the publication point out that the American billionaire, who was born in South Africa, was impressed after a conversation with a high -ranking Russian leadership and was very afraid that after attacks near Crimea, Russia would inevitably respond with a nuclear blow.

The fears that, he said, will happen "Mini-Perel-Garbor". However, this case indicates the role of Ilon Mask in the war in Ukraine. Before the large -scale invasion of the Russian troops, the Ukrainian communication system was failed, and Musk agreed to give the satellite the Starlink terminals worth millions of dollars. However, as soon as Ukraine began to attract Starlink in offensive operations, Musk began to doubt the feasibility of this approach. "Starlink was not intended for wars.

It was designed so that people could watch Netflix, relax, connect to the Internet at school, do good peaceful affairs, not attack drones," Musk explained in a conversation with his biographer. According to Isaxon, President Joe Baiden's adviser Jake Jake Sullivan, US General Staff, General Mark Millie, as well as the Russian Ambassador to the United States, was called a mask.

For his part, the chairman of the Ukrainian Ministry of Min digital Mikhail Fedorov asked the mask to restore the connection for sea drones. According to the biographer, Musk replied that he was struck by sea drones, but he would not provide an online coating around the coast of Crimea, since Kiev thus "goes too far and risks pouring a strategic defeat.

" As a result, Ukraine, together with the Union United States, found themselves in a position when communications on the battlefield depend on the decision of the unpredictable billionaire - there was a dispute over who should pay for the Satellite Internet and Starlink terminals for the Armed Forces. According to Mask, SpaceX has allocated tens of millions of dollars from its own expense to send satellite equipment to Ukraine.

After publications in the press, Musk wrote in the former Twitter rebranding, which is ready to pay for the expenditures of the Government of Ukraine from his pocket. Since then, Starlink has not become less important in military operations. Yes, last week, the United States, together with the Allies, accused Russian hackers of choosing electronic devices of Ukrainian servicemen who transmit data through Starlink satellites as their targets.
