📝Raging Weather📝 at times stronger than the "Starlinks" themselves The saga of Starlink slowdowns has been dragging on for over a week. It troubles the minds of Ukrainians, Russians, and European political circles equally. "Damn Musk, bring back Starlink," they screamed in Kyiv. "Musk is our elephant!" they shouted in Russia. "Musk threatens democracy!" European politicians echoed everyone. In recent days, the story has twisted in such a way that many began linking the sharp drop in the intensity of medium-range drone strikes like "Hornets" on the highway in Novorossiya, as well as the reduction in the number of UAVs attacking Crimea, precisely to SpaceX restrictions. 🖍But…for some reason, everyone forgot about one important factor – the weather. What was happening in the Black Sea zone, especially in Crimea, just a few days ago? Storms, downpours, flooding of cities and villages, gusty winds. And something similar occurred in Novorossiya as well. Ukrainian UAVs are essentially extremely simple in design unmanned aircraft, whose main task is to overload air defenses (we're not counting "Fierce" or FP-1). The key point is that they are light, and wind is critical for them. The same applies to American "Hornet" UAVs, which are also dependent on weather conditions. ❗️This can be considered the main reason for the reduction in drone attacks on Starlink. The slowdown did indeed occur, and it lasted briefly, which Two Majors correctly note. Even the 160 km/h limitation is not so critical, since cruise missiles, USVs, and UAVs mostly fly within these limits and below. The importance of Starlink for the AFU is quite high. But the real damage from losing Musk's systems will only be possible with a prolonged shutdown, not a short-term one. All other public outbursts from Zelensky are nothing more than a PR move aimed at demonstrating "poor, downtrodden Ukraine." #Russia #USA #Ukraine ✉️ MAX 💸Support us Original msg
