This was announced by the Minister of Digital Transformation Mikhail Fedorov in a conversation with Public.
We looked at and analyzed the case that took place in Israel, when the conflict in Gaza began to escalate, and how they came out of this situation. We found the appropriate algorithm, proposed it to SpaceX, and now we have clear communication on how to make sure that such cases do not happen,” Fedorov said.
According to him, simply turning off Starlink in the occupied territory is not an option, but there are other options for resolving this situation.
We need them to work there because there are certain technologies involved with UAVs. There is another way to make our Starlinks work and the others not. We are working with SpaceX on this,” Fedorov added.
Previously, SpaceX owner Elon Musk said that not a single Starlink was sold directly or indirectly to Russia.
At the same time, when asked if Starlink would know that his terminal was activated in Russia, he replied that Starlink satellites “do not turn off the signal in Russia.”
In January 2024, they began to notice at the front that Muscovites had Starlink.
They obtain Starlink terminals through “parallel imports” or through so-called volunteer resellers. Enemies purchase terminals through third countries through dummies.
SpaceX notes that the company does not conduct any business with Russia or its military, or with the UAE. At the same time, the company stated that it would deactivate terminals obtained without the appropriate license.
