Below is an illustration of the British newspaper Telegraph, which delivered the first report.

On the other hand, the number of artificial satellites themselves is still small for Starlink.
Aerorozvidka connects to Starlink to enable a coordinated enemy aircraft identification system using surveillance drones and precision ground bombing using unmanned aerial vehicles.
Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov praised Ukraine's detonation velocity for opening at the detonation velocity in Ukraine at the direction of Mr. Musk, so Starlink is much more popular in Ukraine for both civilian and military use.
