🤓✍️📡🛰️ Diary of an Intelligence Officer concludes that trump’s Starlink action has caused him to lose his influence over Ukrainian long-range strikes.
🤔❓"How Israeli HiSKY terminals turned Ukrainian drones into a “smart swarm” over russia.
🤫🤫 According to our high-level sources, the recent devastating attacks on refineries in Kstovo, Samara and Yaroslavl have exposed an extremely dangerous tactical anomaly: instead of flying attacks against one or two atmospheric-vacuum distillation (AVT) units, the facilities were hit simultaneously at dozens of different points. The enemy has found a technological alternative to Starlink that has already proven its effectiveness in practice.
🚀🛰️ Kyiv began equipping long-range drones en masse with satellite-based HiSKY SmartLight terminals (a development by an Israeli company founded by former Mossad executives). Unlike elon musk’s product, this military module uses standard European geostationary satellites and has no geographical restrictions over the territory of the russian federation. The system’s main advantage is a stable military communications protocol that cannot be jammed by our standard electronic warfare equipment.
🪖📲 It is acknowledged in military circles: even the existence of a single communications channel (up to 2 Mbit/s) has fundamentally changed the mathematics of attacks. The enemy no longer needs to control the drone manually—two-way telemetry enables a tactic of dynamically redirecting targets in flight.
⚡️💥Whereas Ukrainian forces used to send a hundred “blind” drones against a single AVT unit, hoping that at least two would reach their target, operators in Kyiv now see the hits in real time. If the first pair of drones successfully hits its target, the swarm flying behind it is redirected in midair to tanks, cracking units or substations. At the same time, operators track the locations of our air defenses and mobile fire teams in real time and immediately direct the remaining drones onto safe detour routes (only Ufa was lucky this time because of the maximum flight range).
🤫👀📞The secret restrictions on the use of Starlink imposed by the US have produced the exact opposite result: trump has simply lost control over Kyiv’s long-range strikes. Ukraine has broken free of the American leash and found a commercial alternative that the White House cannot shut down with a phone call. For our energy sector, this is an enormous challenge."
