On Tuesday evening Radosław Sikorski published an entry straight to Elon Musk on X.
Hey, large man, why don't you halt the Russians from utilizing the Starlinks to attack Ukrainian cities.
Making money on war crimes could hurt your brand – wrote the politician.
In this way, Sikorski referred to the information published by the Institute for War Studies (ISW), which shows that Russian troops are increasingly reaching for Starlink systems to increase the scope of drones utilized in attacks on Ukraine.
Elon Musk commented on platform X the entry of the deputy prime minister and head of the MFA, utilizing offensive terms to him.
This drooling imbecile doesn't even realize that Starlink is the basis of Ukrainian military communication – Musk replied.
Some of the netizens sided with Radosław Sikorski, stressing that Poland is financing supplies of Starlink systems for Ukraine, and without this support Elon Musk would most likely not proceed to share them.
The Russians value Starlink
Specialists stress that the usage of systems developed by SpaceX makes Russian BM-35 impact drones liable to endanger almost the full territory of Ukraine, as well as all Moldova and parts of Poland, Romania and Lithuania.
German weekly Der Spiegel reported that the Russian military is increasingly utilizing Starlink systems during drone attacks against Ukraine. Information on the installation of Starlinks on Russian combat drones was confirmed by Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) editors. As the weekly magazine stressed, Russia is reaching for this solution to become independent of global satellite navigation systems specified as GPS and Galileo, which are more prone to interference. Starlings are much harder to jam.
Sikorski vs Musk
This is not the first specified fierce exchange between Radosław Sikorski and Elon Musk. In March last year, a billionaire abusively referred to Polish politics after the head of the MFA commented on Musk's suggestions that the exclusion of Starlink for Ukraine could lead to a collapse of the front. In response, Musk addressed Sikorski in a direct and disrespectful way, questioning the importance of the Polish financial contribution and highlighting the deficiency of an alternate to the Starlink system.
Shut up, small man. You pay a tiny part of the cost. And there's no substitute for Starlink. – mocked Sikorski Musk.
