Russian TV calls for nukes after Musk blocks Starlink - Break the Fake - TVP WORLD



In recent months, Russian forces began using Starlink terminals on strike drones, significantly improving range, accuracy, and resistance to electronic warfare.

The tactic quickly raised concerns, as the system was never authorized for use by occupying forces.

Ukraine responded through official channels, prompting SpaceX to introduce countermeasures. As a result, unregistered Starlink terminals began experiencing disruptions.

The reaction from Russian state media was immediate and revealing, highlighting how dependent Moscow has become on unauthorized Western technology.

In a new episode of Break the Fake, Jonasz Rewiński explains the growing role of satellite communications in modern warfare — and what happens when access to them is cut off.
