Lovely to see Russian-used Starlink terminals blown up by Ukrainian forces with drones

Unfort this does costs drones that could be used for other targets..

Musk is a war-enabler, that's for sure

@stux so hard to pick the best target.

@stux that's a weird point. Starlinks are not officially sold to Russia, they're imported through third parties. They are officially sold to Ukraine, though. And some Ukrainian ones are also imported through third parties.

There are many things to hate Elon for, but this is hardly it.

@mks_h But why aren't they disabled?

Starlink knows very well where they are located for example

@stux it would only really matter to disable them at the frontlines, and you can't really do that there without also disabling Ukrainian terminals. At least the third-party ones, of which there is a significant amount.

They could absolutely do more to battle Russian use of their terminals further from immediate frontlines, but that would require active coordination with Ukraine, and basically being really involved in the war.
