After the Ukrainian forces, has the Russian army also started using "Starlink"?
In recent times, social media has been circulating posts claiming that the Russian military has openly used Starlink. Some small-scale media even cited a "Russian Defense Ministry statement" saying that the Russian military uses "Starlink" to accurately strike distant Ukrainian targets. This is the first time the official has publicly acknowledged the use of "Starlink."
Regarding the rumors, "Russia Today" clarified that the information was false and that the Russian Defense Ministry had never made an official statement on the matter.
Although this clarification did not explicitly state that the Russian military had not used Starlink, it only said that there was no official confirmation. Combined with statements from Ukraine and Poland, it cannot be ruled out that such a possibility exists.
The Ukrainian side pointed out that the power of Russian drones has significantly increased compared to before, because they are equipped with the "Starlink" system. Even for long-range strikes, high accuracy can be achieved.
Poland's Foreign Minister Sikorski directly confronted Musk, asking why he would help Russia attack Ukraine and make money from the war.
Musk was not someone to be messed with. He immediately retorted that "Starlink" was specifically provided for communication support to the Ukrainian military and had never been sold to the Russian military. If Sikorski couldn't even understand this basic fact, what difference was there between him and a "fool drooling"?
Actually, this really can't be blamed on Musk. He didn't know who the dealers would sell "Starlink" to. At most, he would turn a blind eye after knowing about it. Previously, "Starlink" terminals were found in a telecom fraud park in Myanmar, which obviously wasn't authorized by Musk.
As for whether Musk is on Ukraine's or Russia's side, he probably isn't on either. Capitalists always stand on the side of money.
