Elon Musk claims that Ukraine allegedly violated Starlink's terms of use and used the system on combat drones.
As someone who was inside the process at the Ministry of Defense, I can say with certainty that this is not true.
In February of this year, whitelists were introduced. Stationary terminals could be registered by both military personnel and civilians.
But for any satellite terminal to work while on the move, it had to be added to a special list and connected to the military Starshield system. Otherwise, no satellite communication terminals in Ukraine would work.
In other words, using civilian Starlink for drone missions was technically impossible. All drone missions that required satellite communication could only be carried out using Starshield.
We are very grateful to the United States and SpaceX for access to critically important satellite communications. Ukraine did not violate the terms of use.
🛡️ Russia has four times more population than Ukraine and was considered the second army by strength in the world. In 2022 they expanded the war against Ukraine, removing the masks of “separatism” and fake “referendums,” planning to occupy Kyiv in three days. But Ukraine not only held out but also began to strike back, causing hysteria in Russia. Ukraine without a fleet for the first time in the history of the world sank a missile cruiser. Ukraine seriously damaged the Crimean bridge with a smart strategy. The “Spiderweb” operations, when 117 drones flew out of the trucks of long-haul drivers in Russia, when AI drones attacked the planes, themselves recognizing the targets, destroying about 41 planes on the territory of Russia or the fresh “Vivaldi” operation which is happening right now, when robot-cars attacked the Russians and thanks to this Ukraine liberated 176 square kilometers this summer.
@ristorcelli1 Really? 🤔
My home town Rodynske is completely destroyed by russians and we still live and fighting. They took everything from me, except my family.
Don’t give up, this is not something that you cant fix
Kharkiv, fucking hell. Nova Vodolaha, local park, Russian "Geran-3" (modernized "Shahed"). 6 killed, 3 of them children.
Now every child's blood is on the hands of Trump.
«У нас очень мало простора для компромисса. Они нас хотят убить, а мы хотим жить. Нам говорят: или вас избивают, или вы убегаете со своей земли, или становитесь хохлами-полукацапами. Мне ни один из этих вариантов не подходит. Я хочу, чтобы мы победили».

Вспоминаю как 24 февраля 2022 года мировые «медиа», а также «международные лидеры» в один голос трубили о том, что от Украины ничего не зависит, что с ней уже покончено и что это судьба.
А Украина просто взяла и врезала этой судьбе кулаком по носу.
Помните об этом✊🇺🇦
