They are talking bullshit. They can turn off areas like Russia IF THEY WANT. They have done that to Ukraine in the middle of an attack.
Russians are using Starlink at the front, according to Defence One
The first cases of using the terminals were recorded several months ago. So far, we are talking about dozens of devices on the front line. But there could be hundreds of them.
SpaceX said the company "does not do business with the Russian government or its military. Starlink does not operate in Russia. The company has never sold and will never sell equipment to Russia."
The terminals may enter Russia through third countries, just like microchips for Russian rockets.
At the same time, the quality of the Internet distributed by Starlink terminals in the Ukrainian army has plummeted.
