ПРЕДСЕДАТЕЛЬ ПАРТИИ «ЕДИНАЯ РОССИЯ» ДМИТРИЙ МЕДВЕДЕВ ЗАЯВИЛ О ПОСТАВЛЕННЫХ ВКС РОССИИ ЗАДАЧАХ ПО УНИЧТОЖЕНИЮ ГРУППИРОВКИ СПУТНИКОВ STARLINK.​

Это связанно с новыми данными генерального штаба Российской Федерации. Согласно полученным данным, наведение и корректировка огня по флагману черноморского флота - крейсеру «Москва», осуществлялась с помощью группировки спутников Starlink (компании SpaceX).

Дмитрий Медведев сообщил, что для обеспечения безопасности всех подразделений участвующих в специальной военной операции, верховным главнокомандующим был отдан приказ об уничтожении группировки спутников Starlink, находящейся над территорией Российской Федерации, зоны проведения специальной военной операции и черноморского бассейна.



«Россия не занимается милитаризацией космоса, но и не позволит это делать другим», - отметил он.



Также председатель партии «Единая Россия» заявил об отстранении Осипова И.В. – командующего Черноморским флотом ВМФ России на время расследования причин потери флагмана черноморского фота.​

THE CHAIRMAN OF THE UNITED RUSSIA PARTY DMITRY MEDVEDEV STATED THE TASKS SET BY THE RUSSIAN VKS TO DESTROY THE STARLINK SATELLITE GROUP.

16.04.2022 10:30:39

This is due to the new data of the General Staff of the Russian Federation. According to the data received, the guidance and adjustment of fire on the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, the cruiser Moskva, was carried out using the Starlink satellite constellation (SpaceX).

Dmitry Medvedev said that in order to ensure the security of all units participating in the special military operation, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief was ordered to destroy the Starlink satellite constellation located over the territory of the Russian Federation, the zone of the special military operation and the Black Sea basin.

"Russia is not engaged in the militarization of outer space, but it will not allow others to do it," he said.

Also, the chairman of the United Russia party announced the removal of Osipov I.V. - Commander of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy during the investigation of the reasons for the loss of the flagship of the Black Sea fleet.

And they should.

Its impossible......to many Starlinks, and too costly. Elon would also be able to replenish those much faster than Russia could shoot them down.

I'm sure with a push of a button they can all go into an evasive maneuver mode.

SpaceX releases new details on Starlink satellite design – Spaceflight Now

The Starlink satellites carry Hall thrusters, which use electricity and krypton gas to generate an impulse, to maneuver in orbit, maintain altitude and guide the spacecraft back into the atmosphere at the end of their mission.

Hall thrusters provide a more fuel-efficient form of propulsion than conventional liquid propellants, but most satellites that use Hall thrusters consume xenon gas. Krypton is less expensive than xenon, but offers less thrust efficiency, according to a 2011 paper presented by U.S. Air Force and satellite industry engineers.

The satellites also host optical trackers to detect space debris, allowing the craft to autonomously avoid collisions with other objects in space.

Another preposterous lie from the Russians, and a blatant one at that. So does that mean the OKO and newer EKS satellites don't exist? Or that GLOSNASS isn't used for navigation of Russian bombers, missles and other assets, or that SIGINT satellites like 'Luch' aren't in service?

Is this a joke? There is nothing to suggest the Starlink was involved in the sinking of the Moskva when there are multiple much-more-capable satellites that could do the job of locating her.

 

[Wood]

Recall Musk saying that he can launch satellites faster than Russia can bring them down. We get to see if that claim is true

 

[Goritoes]

Question is how he plan to do that ?

CIA creates a webpage link showing realtime updates of the Russian fleet location.

Gives link to Ukraine military. They have Starlink connections. They wait for correct moment to shoot anti-ship missiles over the horizon.

Is there anything other than conjecture to support this theory? StarLink satellites do not have synthetic aperture radars to locate vessels by themselves unless they're acting as communication waypoints for satellites that do, which again isn't supported by any evidence thus far.

Lol
You must be one of those zombies who are too high on media propaganda.
You should not be on this forum but go back to SkyNews Aussie version.

No, CIA/NSA satellites do the peeking.
Starlink just does the HTML page relay to CIA website with realtime data.

Ukraine military (using high speed Starlink) probably looking at NSA supplied webpages showing realtime Russian troop and ship movement.

Russia targeted Ukraine's landline internet but couldn't cutoff the Starlink internet. So now I'm sure Ukraine is getting realtime intelligence info through Starlink.

So the Russians aren't threatening the NSA satellites I guess because actually hitting them would be an act of war, they must figure threatening civilian Starlink sats doesn't cross that line.

Only thing Starlink is good for is providing internet access in Ukraine.

I said this long ago that starlink is basically a spy network and its proven now. The US is an evil government and warmonger and is militarizing space now.
