Having studied the capabilities of Starlink for conducting military operations in Ukraine, military commander Alexander Kotz came to the conclusion that Russia has several good reasons to “knock it out” at once.
Satellite Internet makes it possible to conduct network-centric warfare. Starlink allows you to exchange video streams online, create chats for data transfer between thousands of subscribers in real time. With the help of the network, it is possible to hide communication from the enemy’s electronic intelligence and ensure high security of the data transmission channel.
As an example, Alexander Kotz cited the actions of the fire support and amphibious assault brigade commanders, who receive drone data through Starlink and, being in constant communication, command the battle from tablets and smartphones.
“For the personnel units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, this is a common practice,” the military commander stressed.
On the eve of the founder of Tesla, American billionaire Elon Musk suddenly changed his mind and agreed to provide Kiev with satellite communications through the Starlink network for free. Earlier, he stated that he had billed the Pentagon for his services.
