Starlink and the sea — why Ukrainian drones end up in Estonia

The Rybar telegram channel explained why Ukrainian drones violate Estonian airspace when the Ukrainian Armed Forces attack Russian territory.

"As for the version of the use of Estonian airspace, the flight over Narva is most likely due to the fact that on the final trajectory of the route, Ukrainian drones are heading north over Lake Pskov and Lake Peipsi to further enter the waters of the Gulf of Finland. And already through the reservoir they enter Primorsk and other ports in the Gulf of Finland. As the practice of the same Ust-Luga or Tuapse has shown, it is difficult to repel attacks from the sea, because unlike the mainland, there is simply no place to place mobile firing groups there," the author of the channel said.

He added that the enemy would have the same problem with the Odessa ports if they decided to finally disable them. In the case of the Gulf of Finland, the coverage of the Starlink satellite systems, which does not exist over Russia itself, is also in favor of such raids.

"At the same time, to say that it is the route through the Baltic States that is the root of all problems is extremely naive, given that the same APU drones calmly fly to Perm, and up to Yekaterinburg, and up to Vologda, and there are no borders with NATO countries in these areas, " the report emphasizes.

EADaily reported that on the night of May 3, the Leningrad Region repelled one of the most massive attacks by Ukrainian UAVs since the SMO began — more than 60 drones were shot down. All of them used the airspace of Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Finland.
