The West was afraid of the Russian "Barrage" on the territory of the SMO

The columnist of the American portal TWZ Howard Altman in another publication expressed the opinion that the Russian unmanned stratospheric platform "Barrage-1" could become a competitor to the American Starlink in the SMO area. The platform is capable of lifting up to 100 kilograms of cargo to a height of up to 20 kilometers.

The fact that Barrage-1, with certain equipment, can be a replacement for the American Starlink satellite Internet, the observer noted, even frightened Altman.

"Russia is considering a communication system using balloons to fill the huge gap created after the loss of the Starlink project," the analyst wrote.

A new system from Russia provides an analogue of communication, albeit on a limited territory.

EADaily also previously informed that the Russian Defense Ministry has received upgraded BREM-80.
