For Ukraine, this development means that war goes even deeper into space and satellite communications.
New serious threat to the Ukrainian defence may constitute the Russian satellite network Rassvet, which develops as its counterpart Starlink and is intended to offer broadband communications from low track.
Ukrainian military communications and drones expert Serhiy Beskrestnov, known as Flash, has warned that full development of the system could to enable Russia to maintain online connection with drones and other weapons systems over Ukraine.
In his post he stressed that the main problem is not only the improvement of Russian communications on the front, but the possibility of continuous control UAV strikers via satellites.
Rassvet is still developing.
On 14 September they were recorded 31 active satellites, While steady coverage requires a much larger number.
The commercial operation of the network is set for 2027.
For Ukraine, this development means that war goes even deeper into space and satellite communications, creating new pressure to develop stronger electronic war instruments.
