might be too credible

of course he was afraid of russian nuukes. this only prompted Ukrainian engineers to bypass use of starlink entirely and current sea drones, like the one used in second Kerch bridge strike, or these used against SIG tanker and Olenegorsky Gornyak landing ship use domestic technology only

        if you mean that ZSU uses starlink infrastructure now, then i suspect yes, but they basically subcontract from DoD (?) so they don’t have to deal with Musk’s bullshit that much. i mean no unusual shady shit involved, situation was sorted out by legal means. but also i’m guessing they got burned on this entire situation and for absolutely critical tasks prefer not to use it at all, which is technically feasible especially if you don’t have to care about these pesky frequency allocations
