During a meeting with Russian military personnel, Putin discussed the increasing effectiveness of Ukrainian drones on the battlefield. He revealed plans for Russia to develop its own satellite system, intended to mirror the capabilities of SpaceX’s Starlink network, which Ukraine utilizes for drone guidance and communication. This new network aims to mitigate the impact of Ukrainian drone strikes and enhance Russia’s own military capabilities. The announcement signals a potential escalation in technological warfare as Russia seeks to counter Ukraine’s advancements. Details regarding the timeline and funding for the project remain scarce.
