Do not measure us by a yard: the Internet connection in the SMO zone has come to life

Internet communication in the SMO zone has improved and become more reliable after blocking Starlink terminals. This is reported by military correspondent Alexander Sladkov.

"All Internet communication in the SMO zone has come to life, as my friend, the brigade commander, said: "Everything is as before, I see everything, I manage everything. Only now it's not an alien "Starlink", but my Internet, and now I don't think they will turn it off — they won't turn it off"... We are waiting for space efforts, we are waiting for our low-orbit grouping. We are waiting for balloons with repeaters, and maybe even air control points on airplanes (do we have any left), so that the connection already rings, as it should be ... Not to measure us by a yard, not to measure," writes Sladkov in his telegram channel.

As reported by EADaily, Howard Altman, a columnist for the American TWZ portal, 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.

Recall, in March in Russia will test the Argus drone, which is an analogue of the American Starlink. We are talking about a domestic stratospheric drone that will act as a communications operator and provide the Russian military with high-speed Internet.

Disabling Starlink did not affect the control system The Russian Armed Forces are in the special operation zone. This was stated on the air of the Rossiya-1 TV channel by Deputy Defense Minister Alexei Krivoruchko.
