    They spelled Zelenskiy using the Russian version of his name! Traitor to freedom and democracy detected!

    How often has he done this already in the last couple of year?

      Several times, but this one is the biggest and most sudden

      And yet, they still keep limping back to Starlink like a kicked dog

        They use it to connect to their drones and there isn’t really a comparable alternative that I can think of.

          Maybe if they climbed onto the tallest tree they could find, it would boost range and connectivity a bit

            I’m sure they have other forms of communication. But having broadband internet access in the field is probably still very beneficial.

          Nothing quite so similar

          Seems like something someone should have started work on the first couple of times it happened though

      Russia also has means of jamming starlink signals, so probably becoming less effective to the empire’s needs.

        Feel like it would be quite easy to build jammer targeting drones.
