Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics:
[ColonelCassad] There are many questions regarding Starlink in the feedback.
In order:
1. No, it cannot affect strikes deep into enemy territory. Starlink has only recently begun to be used for final-flight corrections, and by no means on all drones. However, this is precisely what caused the Ukrainian to become so hysterical about this topic and the corresponding appeal to Musk.
2. No, it does not affect aerial reconnaissance or further intelligence.
3. Yes, it will have a certain impact on internet availability in the field.
4. Yes, there are no alternatives at all, right now.
5. There is a Gazprom dish; it works, but, to put it mildly, it is inferior in connection speed and needs to be developed or improved.
6. Of course, high-speed internet can be brought to the field using other methods; it is technically possible, and many are currently working on it.
7. Yes, there are ways to verify Starlink that will allow you to bypass the blocking, but this will take some time.
8. Yes, there are Chinese equivalents that we are currently considering importing and launching privately.
9. Yes, they are promising us a Russian equivalent next year, but promises are not the same as marriage.
10. Yes, any Ukrainian who tries to giggle or grunt about this topic is sent to hell, since their misfit country not only lacks its own satellite internet, but has never had anything of its own; a tribe of ragamuffins knows nothing but wagging their tongues.
11. Yes, Ukrainian cell phone and mobile internet towers can and should be used; the technology is proven, the Ukrainians know this, there's nothing to hide. Yes, they will also be without internet during drone attacks—as an answer to those who are indignant: "Why don't the authorities turn off the internet for the Ukrainians?"
12. No, the strikes will not become less widespread.
Of course, the root cause of the problems is the lack of a fully-fledged satellite constellation to provide troops with widespread and accessible internet. This, of course, should have been addressed before the war, but for now, we're forced to resort to various workarounds.
