Starlink satellite technology assisting Ukrainian drone units
Earlier, it was reported that Elon Musk's Starlink satellite technology is assisting an elite Ukrainian drone unit in destroying Russian weapons, according to the Times of London. The Aerorozvidka, which is a unit of the Ukrainian Ground Forces specialising in aerial reconnaissance and drone warfare uses drones equipped with infrared cameras to observe Russian military equipment such as tanks and command vessels at night.

The Russians are probably right in this instance.

This is starting to sound like the plot of a Terminator film.

They’re puffing their chest again threatening “severe consequences like you’ve never ever seen before except in the movies”. Take them seriously? Who knows. I actually believe they are banking on the loose cannon angle and that making threats of unknown actions and intentions will make everyone back off. They specifically called out the US for sending military aid to the Ukraine.
What a poop show this is. And we have the most incompetent leadership ever in US history helming the ship. I’m actually thinking about building a bomb shelter.

Putin has been threatening everyone under the sun. What did he expect the west to do when he invaded?

Wouldn't an attack on US infrastructure be considered an attack against the US? It's not government owned, but it's American owned and we're not talking about some billionaire's cruise ship. We're talking about what amounts to a utility. What would we do if he attacked our water supply or electrical grid?

Ah, the hell with a bomb shelter. With the lack of leadership we have, we'll be all toast. I'll just stand in the street and watch the flashes.

Is that truly US infrastructure, though? It’s the infrastructure of an American company with international investors but that’s not what comes to mind when I think of US infrastructure. I could see how even a private company’s assets could be considered US infrastructure if, say, private ownership of “public” utilities was authorized on a large scale. But I don’t think we’re dealing with that with this company.
