Eh, anyone know what has happened to Musk's starlink uplink boxes in the occupied zones?
- Arnt 5y agoStarlink wasn't available there before the invasion, and Spacex delivered them to the Ukrainians after the Russians stopped advancing, so the number of uplinks in occupied territories ought to be very close to zero.
- noduerme 5y agoHm. I'd be surprised if there weren't Starlink units in Mariupol, considering there's still video coming out of there. What I read was that a truckload of pallets of Starlink boxes showed up in Ukraine; where they ended up is anyone's guess, but probably they're being deployed with forward troops.
- EB-Barrington 5y agoUkrainian media reports 150,000 people are now using the internet via Starlink in Ukraine. There are no specifics about locations, but the impression is that these 150,000 people are citizens (as opposed to military/government).
