The Starlink app from Elon Musk he helps the Ukrainian army fight Putin’s invasion. How? Musk’s satellites establish an internetenabled connection Deliver ultrawide bandwidth with very low latency to every corner of the world. Starlink network allows Ukrainian drones to hit Putin’s defenseless tanks. Musk’s Starlink system helps connect Ukrainian drones to their bases, intercept enemies, and now the app is the most downloaded in Ukraine, with global downloads having tripled in the last two weeks.
Drones deployed in the field can use the new Starlink to stay connected and provide intelligence while internet and power outages plague Ukraine. Drones can be ordered to fire antitank ammunition to repel the Russian attack.
Shortly after the invasion Mikhail Fedorov, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine, sent Musk a tweet asking for access to Starlink stations. Musk replied: “The Starlink service is now active in Ukraine. More terminals on the way ».
@elonmuskwhile trying to colonize Mars Russia is trying to occupy Ukraine! While your missiles land successfully from space, Russian missiles are attacking Ukrainian civilians! We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and get sane Russians to stand.

Within days, the trucks arrived in Ukraine, carrying Starlink terminals, as well as adapters that provide power from the car’s cigarette lighters or batteries, and a roaming feature to ensure people are securely connected while driving. Last week, Starlink became the most downloaded app in Ukraine with more than 100,000 users. Starlink uses thousands of small satellites about 340 miles above the Earth’s surface. Base stations on Earth send radio waves to satellites, which transmit them to a satellite dish terminal on the planet. So far, more than 2,000 satellites have been sent into space, and a total of around 12,000 are to be launched into space.
The aim of the system is to bring Internet access to rural and poorly connected areas of the world. The system’s usefulness has now reached military operations as well, with it allowing Ukraine’s Aerorozvidka drone armies to further communicate with their bases, sending signals from Starlink terminals and using ground stations in neighboring countries, including Poland. Eventually, the system was integrated into the Ukrainian military.
«A new batch of Starlink terminals! While Russia is blocking Internet access, Ukraine is opening up more and more to the whole world. Ukraine is the truth. The truth always wins. Thank you Elon Musk, the Polish government ». This was stated by the Deputy Prime Minister for Digital Transformation, Mikhail Fedorov in a tweet by posting the Photos of the terminals arrived in Ukraine.

The reaction of the Russians
But the Russians reacted angrily to Starlink’s support for Ukraine.
Dmitry Rogozin, Managing Director of roscosmos, the Russian space agency, said: “This is the West we should never trust.” Russian forces deployed and unleashed their fair share of hypersonic weapons its Kinzhal hypersonic missiles for the first time in Ukraine this week.
The Russian space agency Roscosmos, itanto, has reduced this year’s space launches to 22 from the 30 planned before the war in Ukraine. Roscosmos has also canceled the launch of six OneWeb satellites. The constellation of the OneWeb satellites direct competitors of Elon Musk’s Starlink is a project that will launch approximately 650 telecommunications satellites into orbit to provide internet access worldwide. Dmitry Rogozin, reported today that “six OneWeb satellites, including the one we removed from the launch pad and three other satellites that we should have launched from Kourou, are not being launched.” As Interfax reported today, Rogozin stressed that OneWeb is “a French surveillance satellite”. “In total, we’re going to do about 20 launches, and that’s fine,” said Rogozin, who also explained that in January, Roscosmos is planning about 30 space launches for 2022.
