The American businessman says that Russia may succeed in trying to “kill” Starlink on the Ukrainian front.
Russia could “kill” the only Starlink communication system operating on the Ukrainian front. About that expressed SpaceX founder Elon Musk on his Twitter account on Saturday, October 15th.
“There is a big difference between world communications and frontline communications. Starlink is the only frontline communications system still running – all others are dead. Russia is actively trying to ‘kill’ Starlink. “To protect SpaceX has dedicated huge defense resources. But even in this case, Starlink could still die,” he explained.
According to him, Starlink satellite communication in Ukraine costs the company $20 million per month.
“In addition to terminals, we had to create, launch, maintain and replenish satellites and ground stations, as well as pay telecom operators for Internet access through gateways. We also had to defend against cyber attacks and jamming, which is becoming increasingly difficult, ” added the American businessman.
It will be remembered that the adviser to the head of the Office of the President Mikhail Podolyak Ukraine will find a way to continue the operation of the Starlink terminals after SpaceX refused funding.
On the eve it became known that Elon Musk announced that he decided to refuse to finance Starlink in Ukraine.
