Russian Deputy Defense Minister Alexey Krivoruchko and the Head of the Main Communications Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Tishkov tell Russian state TV:

  • The shutdown of Starlink terminals did not affect the operations of Russian command and control systems in Ukraine;

  • Starlink was used only by certain Russian units, and primarily to "mislead the enemy."

  1. As strange as it may sound, it is true. Indeed, the shutdown of terminals did not affect the command of Russian troops. Russian generals still transmit orders and paper maps, draw arrows on them, and deliver paper copies to officers. It was on the battlefield that soldiers lost contact with their units, but nothing changed in terms of command.

    It is true that Starlink was only used by certain units that did not want to die. Blocking Telegram (which all Russians used) became much more painful for tactical coordination, but it was the Russians themselves who shot themselves in the foot.

    They always look and sound like they’re reading from a prompt. Wait. These two are clearly reading…

    I was about to post “Imagine serving leaders who lie so blatantly!”. And then I thought, “OMG, that’s us under Trump too.”

  4. I’m convinced Ruzzia is just a shitty side quest in the grand scheme of things that we have to complete.

    It’s an empire. Empires fall. The world will heal.
