here's a big one .......Ukraine discovers Starlink on downed Russian Shahed drone: Report
Russia has installed Starlink terminals in its Iranian-designed Shahed drones, according to a Ukrainian media report, which would mark the latest upgrade to the destructive kamikaze drones long used against Ukrainian cities if confirmed.Ukraine's military intelligence agency said in February that Russian forces were using Starlink terminals along the front lines, pointing specifically to Russia's 83rd Separate Air Assault Brigade that it said was operating in the eastern Ukrainian Donetsk region at the time.
Andriy Yusov, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian GUR military intelligence agency, told Ukrainian media at the time that Russian use of Starlink was becoming "systemic."
Starlink is owned and operated by entrepreneur Elon Musk's aerospace firm, SpaceX, and accounts for a huge percentage of active satellites. Musk has vehemently denied that Starlink is being sold to Russia.
