Aerorozvidka (Aerial Reconnaissance) is being used to attack Russian drones and target Vladmir Putin's army of tanks with the help of the newly available Starlink system which improves internet and connection speeds
US billionaire Elon Musk's new technology helps to keep Ukrainian drones connected with their bases It comes as the country has continue to suffer through internet and power outages throughout the invasion
The Starlink app is the most downloaded in Ukraine with global downloads tripling in the last two weeks
Elon Musk's Starlink satellite system is giving Ukrainian forces the edge in winning the drone war as the nation fights back with technology to track down invading Russians.
Aerorozvidka (Aerial Reconnaissance) is being used to attack Russian drones and target Vladmir Putin's army of tanks and track down their positions in the conflict, which has been ongoing since February 24, according to The Telegraph.
Drones used in the field are able to use the newly available Starlink to keep connected and provide intelligence as internet and power outages plague Ukraine.
With the technology, the drones can be directed to drop anti-tank munitions to help ward off the Russian attack.
The so-far-successful implementation of the satellites into the defense of the war-torn nation makes good on a promise outspoken mogul Musk - who challenged Putin to a fist fight for the future of Ukraine earlier this week - made to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky earlier in the month, that SpaceX will send more Starlink satellite stations to provide internet to some of the country's stricken cities.
The president of the embattled country took to Twitter to thank the Tesla CEO, 50, for the support, and invited the tech mogul to visit Ukraine once the war is over.

Elon punks Pooty.
No wonder the Russian shills are suggesting Ukraine give up now
Russia obviously can’t win on the battlefield, it’s been 4 weeks now with no victory in sight, and Russia is running out of money
Much more than just Elons help - there’s lots of intellegrnce agencies and various forms of “image” related actors from other countries with their communications networks scanning the ground in Ukraine....wihtout these Ukraine would be done by now.
I don’t think Putin is looking for “Victory” - he’s made clear what his objectives are.
bkmk GIS
Good thing he’s not looking for victory
because he ain’t gonna get it
Russia doesn’t have any satellite killers?
What is more interesting is that the Russians have apparently not been shooting down satellites.
This post coming to you via Starlink.
Oh great tell the Russians how Musk is helping Ukraine and Putin launches several suborbital nuke bursts to zap Musks’ satellite..or at least he tries to...
Yet.
“…is being used to attack Russian drones and target Vladmir Putin’s army of tanks…”
Then we’re going to find out if the Russians really have functional satellite killers.
Reminds me of the way LBJ and the communist supporters in Congress fought the Vietnam war... No realistically designed path to ultimate victory...
Shills?
A couple of observations about that, maybe they don’t have the ability to shoot down satellites, even if they do how many and how accurate are the satellite killer missiles.
Despite talking about nuclear weapons perhaps they are bluffing don’t want to commit an act of war against a NATO countries satellite.
The point is, I have no idea what’s real and what’s not anymore with all the propaganda flying around.
Unfortunately, there’s several here on FR that support Putin
they won’t come right out and say it, of course, but they’re always crapping on Ukraine and never say anything bad about Russia, then insist that “they’re not taking sides” in the conflict
sort of like those people who criticize Jews all the time, but then insist that “they’re not anti-semitic”
I would imagine that this gives ol’ Elon a mental erection that surpasses any hes ever had even as a teenager. He is THE most popular guy in the WORLD right now. So cool to be alive at the same time that he is. Not so much with Brandon.
Good man, Elon.
