How pathetic.

Makes me wonder if this was Musk's plan all along - make Starlink indispensible and then leverage it against Ukraine when the time came.

"It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." - Henry Kissinger

Was that a warning or a threat from Kissinger?

Maybe it was from his Nobel peace prize acceptance speech.

You can do directed WiFi with pretty long range. But you have to set up both transmitter and receiver antenna, and you'll want to tune the direction of both antenna since radio waves don't travel in a straight line along the surface of the Earth. Bit of a faff really.

The point is that they can't set up a receiver. Modern warfare uses a lot of land.
