The source for that is the "Ministry of Defence’s Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR)" so I would take that with a huge grain of salt. They are a bit upset that Musk refused to allow them an offensive use of Starlink which would have, in his opinion, escalated the war. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/musk-says-he-refused-kyiv-request-use-starlink-attack-russia-2023-09-08/ https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/musk-says-he-refused-ky...

Things chance quickly in a war, the situation is now (29 Februari 2024) very different. Starlinks mounted on drones by both sides, for example. Nato and US militairy paying for special Starlink. Jamming at 10Ghz-60Ghz.

  Wait, they're mounting starlink on drones? Is that actually a thing?

  Could you share a source for that if we wanted to learn more?

    I am bound by an NDA with an Intel Vice President and by an agreement with an ally of Nato military sources. Contact me directly and I'l be happy to point you to the sources that are not secret. You could located them yourself if you Google diligently.

    You might be missing a possible link to Elon Musk in that comment

>so I would take that with a huge grain of salt. Your comment seems to contradict itself. The technology is so valuable that the GUR is upset Musk didn't provide it to them, but not so valuable that deployed units and operators would be targeted? I think this war has demonstrated that Starlink is priceless.
