  1. This is one of the reasons StarLink geofenced the frontline last year, and was criticized for doing so.

    StarLink wasn’t developed as a military platform, but weaponization was inevitable.

    The techniques developed by Ukraine to defend itself will be perverted by Russia, and terrorists all over the world. Sea drones remotely controlled by StarLink will ram cruise ships and oil tankers.

  2. WTF. Get Ukraine western military comms and sniff all the traffic on Starlink to disrupt Russian ops.

    Or implement 2FA to connect and distribute the 2nd factor to Ukrainian troops via military channels.

  3. Funny how Musk doesn’t want Ukraine to have it ‘because it contributes to war’ but the Russians aren’t geofenced? Apparently Russia isn’t making war, according to Musk.

  4. Yet there are still people who ask me why I dislike Elon Musk…

  5. Most likely these have been stolen from Ukrainians. It may not be feasible to accurately geofence so that ukraine can use them vut russia can’t. There is also partisans behind enemy lines that are using starling.

  6. How accurate is the GPS in those units and is SpaceX willing to share with Ukraine? …asking for a friend with precision munitions….

  7. Musk go fuck yourself.

    Tesla SP will go to zero and help you with that. Fascist dictator!

  8. And the American military has no backdoor to the data going through these devices ? Looks like a good opportunity to gather more intelligence.

  9. CIA, NSA and MIL, must be having a field day. They will be mirroring all the Russian traffic to data centres for analysis. Anything Russia is transmitting across Starlink that may be useful, will be provided to Ukraine.

  10. Starlink & by extension US govt will have a good idea of which terminals communicate to Russian forces and what’s being communicated by those terminals. Won’t be tricky for AFU to get that intel…or upload malware. Makes you wonder where is Gerasimov…

  11. All it took was for putler to stroke his dick by saying he’s “unstoppable” and here we are

  12. So Elon Musk blocks starlink for Ukraine but permits it for Russia, and its not something he was unaware of since, well, he controls it.

  13. Wow musk kill Ua. But supports RUS. Who would have guessed.

  14. Of course Elon is classic war profiteer. I am so in favor of 100% tax on billionaires.
