Russian drones with Starlink can reach much farther into Europe than most people expected

  1. Vienna will fall… but Innsbruck will survive.

    We have to end our Neutrality in Austria as soon as possible. We need European defense.

  2. I heard accusations about russians using Starlink a whole year ago. As if that was „the first time“ -.-

  3. You’ll be shocked to find out how far their nukes can go.

  4. The reachable distance depends on the drone’s fuel tank rather than Starlink.
    Starlink provides global coverage, so mentioning Starlink is irrelevant in this infographic.

    The fact that Russians have access to Starlink terminals is largely due to sanctions circumvention and re-imports via third countries. It may be technically possible to disable terminals that were not officially purchased through Ukraine, but this would also shut down a large number of terminals in Ukraine that were donated or purchased through third countries.

    Starlink is offering phone-to-satellite connectivity to Ukrainians (via Kyivstar) – 1st on European continent. Until mid-2023 SpaceX activated and provided Starlink terminals and service in Ukraine at no cost as part of a donation effort. This was widely reported as a critical lifeline.

    Another major issue is Russian drones using Ukrainian mobile networks.

  5. Again, why are we letting Musk do business here

    Bro is either such a junkie he doesn’t know how to audit how his devices are being used, or, more likely, he doesn’t care.

  6. You know they can start drones worldwide, using the shadowfleet.?.

  7. BROTHER SHOW ME NORTHEN SWEDEN. I NEED TO SEE OF LULEÅ IS SAFE.

  8. I don’t think they can reach Hungry. It has the Orban Grift Shield, very potent.

  9. Are we really slapping starlink on these tho? Seems expensive, and would jamming still work?

    Just use a bloody missile at that point

  10. What is even the point of this post? I dont think they would need starlink drones to strike into Europe if they wanted to.

  11. And Starlink cannot shut those terminals down?
    That’s ridiculous.

  12. Don’t forget: Elon switched off Starlink in Ukraine when they tried to use it to support their attack on invading Russian forces.

  13. That 500 km reach falls in the water, somewhere in the baltics-if that red line and that number is what i think it is.

  14. so are there any good defensive systems against these, besides those nets we saw in Ukraine? I know there are some very expensive ones, like what Israel used when Iran sent the drones, but I think there is a way around that system already, with cheap decoys attracting their fire while the armed drones slip by
