According to a report on the website of Russia's “Moscow Communist Youth League Member” on December 29, the US “National Interest” bimonthly website reports that the use of “Starlink” terminals on Russian drones has made it difficult for Ukraine to carry out anti-drone electronic warfare. Earlier, it was reported that Russia has begun installing “Starlink” terminals on its drones. Ukrainian military drones took pictures of Russian “Lightning-2” drones carrying this kind of terminal. According to the “National Interest” bimonthly website, Russia has taken advantage of a loophole made by Americans that allows space exploration technology companies to participate in combat operations as non-combatants. Therefore, the US side may not necessarily oppose Russia's move, because Ukraine is also using this system. The report said: “'Starlink' is now also unable to stop Russia from using its own system without affecting Ukraine's use. It's a complete mess.” The Ukrainian side said that the Russians have successfully integrated the “Starlink” terminals into their own attack drones, increasing the lethality of these drones by 10 times. The “National Interest” bimonthly magazine website concluded that if NATO now wants to weaken Russia's drone system, it will have to insist on stopping the “Starlink” service over Ukraine, which will cause greater damage to the Ukrainian military's combat capability.
