Kind of crazy how Ukraine started faring better against Russia after they stopped sharing intel with the US. I’m assuming that’s just pure coincidence.
Russia has been paying insane amounts of money for new soldiers, and they have every few sources of income other than petrochemicals.
Remove the income, remove the soldiers.
Starlink was just one more civilian com system the Russians were using because they can’t build proper encrypted radios themselves. They’ve been having com problems since basically the second month, and have relied on cellphones, cheap baofeng radios from AliExpress, Starlink, ad-hic hotspots and other civilian applications. They’re even using Discord and the like for the command and control systems.
