Russian military increasingly using Starlink terminals on battlefield

The Russian military has begun to use #Starlink terminals more actively on the front line, Militarnyi, a Ukrainian military news site, reported

A representative for #SpaceX, the manufacturer of Starlink terminals, denied that the company has ever sold or supplied the equipment to the Russian military.

According to Militarnyi, the Starlink terminals are likely being procured through intermediaries in third countries via parallel imports, making it near impossible to trace.

In June 2023, the Pentagon confirmed that SpaceX had won a contract from the Defense Department to provide Ukraine with Starlink satellite services.
