According to the military, Reuters-type reports do not mean the end of stable communication at the front.
According to military radio technology expert Sergey “Flash” Beskrestnov, from the first days of the war, the military began to create alternative communication channels in order not to rely on foreign technologies. For example, these are their own fiber-optic lines and LTE modems.
Starlink is relevant primarily for pilots, since it is used for broadcasts and targets for UAVs, but even if it is disconnected, communication will not be interrupted, because alternative systems are already operating in various directions, including Kursk — emphasizes “Flash”
Also, military Stanislav Bunyatov noted that Ukraine already has a system of secure Internet communication, which allows drones to be connected at the front and even “bare” SIM cards to be programmed for mobile stations.
And to top off the "betrayal", the Central Public Service Commission reported that Starlink is not being turned off in Ukraine yet.
