Russian forces stated that the deactivation of Starlink did not affect combat efficiency, with some units used to mislead the enemy.

Russian Defense Ministry explained: Starlink is used to mislead the enemy

Aleksy Kryvoruchko, Deputy Minister of the Russian Defense Ministry, said on the "Russia-1" television channel, "Starlink terminals have been disabled for two weeks, but this has not affected the command of the Russian military in the special military operation area, nor has it reduced the operational intensity and combat efficiency of the drone system units. Objective monitoring data of the relevant equipment and personnel has confirmed this."

Valery Tishkov, Director of the Russian Army Communications Directorate, added that only a few units have used Starlink, with the purpose of misleading the enemy and launching attacks deep into their defensive lines. "All command point officials have been fully equipped with domestic modern communication services."

Previously, it was reported that the Starlink network failure and Telegram lag caused difficulties in Russian communications.
