SpaceX owner Elon Musk responded to Ukraine’s appeal regarding the use of Starlink terminals on attack drones by Russian troops.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said that SpaceX has already joined forces with the Ukrainian side to limit the use of this technology by the Russian occupiers. According to him, the company responded promptly to the problem.
Fedorov thanked the SpaceX management and Musk. In response, the businessman left a short comment on the social network X – “You’re most welcome,” which does not mean simply “Please,” but rather “Glad to help.”
It was previously reported that the Ukrainian side stated that Russian troops had begun systematically installing Starlink terminals on their drones , which allows them to bypass electronic warfare equipment and strike at long distances.
Recall that the Russian occupiers began equipping Shahed kamikaze drones with infrared searchlights to complicate the work of Ukrainian air defense at night.
