I find it hard to believe that Elon had inside knowledge of Ukraine's secret military plans. It's more likely he just shut it off and it happened to be when they were about to attack the Navy. And Ukraine is always in the middle of attacking something of Russia's since they're at war and stuff so it's not some big coincidence.

They were trying to get it to work at Sevastopol, so it was sort of obvious what they were up to.

Elon (hopefully) doesn't have insider knowledge but he can surely see where the ground terminals are.

Hasn't Ukraine attacked the Russian navy in Crimea several times by now? How the gently caress is this supposed to scare anyone other than Musk who's loving stupid

I wonder if some technical data obtained via a process similar to radio triangulation or possibly timing the speed of data transfer relative to satellite positioning could give up geolocations on terminals and/or connected devices and this would give Musk a certain virtual picture of the battle space where his tech is being used, or maybe I just made all that up having no actual knowledge of how any of this poo poo works.

I think it was last year. Either way, this is drat pathetic coming from Medvedev, considering all the attacks on Crimea since the first attack that Musk interfered with, and proves that he should be ignored

Starlink almost certainly has this capability by virtue of how it works, though I don' t know if they've built in tooling to make it easy. Low earth orbit means the satellite can only "see" a relatively small horizon of about 2500km. That sounds like a lot but remember that's the absolute limit: for it to be usefully high and unobstructed in the sky for your terminal to talk to it, it'll have to be closer than that, and at orbital speed the satellite will cross that entire 2500km in a few minutes. Even if you did away with signal strength calculations entirely, "what satellite is this terminal talking to?" can relatively quickly (I'm guessing 20-60m so you see a number of satellite transits) give you a pretty good idea of where it is. With signal strength over time it'll be even faster, because you can tell when the satellite was probably closest to the terminal. And that's all assuming the terminal doesn't phone home its GPS coordinates anyway in a nicely formatted json message.

One Friday evening that month, just after spending a week with Musk, I was back home in New Orleans watching a football game at my old high school. (The occasion was that it was one of the final games for the school’s superstar quarterback, Arch Manning.) My phone started vibrating with messages from Musk. So he knew exactly what was going on. And he's just phoning journalists he's buddies with and telling them all this poo poo. tiaz posted:Starlink almost certainly has this capability by virtue of how it works, though I don' t know if they've built in tooling to make it easy.

I can't find the quote, but there was an article about a month back confirming exactly this. Musk has access to the Starlink dashboard showing where all the terminals are (and thus the exact coordinates where all the UKR frontline troops are located).

Because he is very, very wealthy person and in US they cannot have a situation where billionaires are held accountable for something trivial like treason or spying for foreign power in case they aren't US citizens. It sets a very bad precedent.

I think UA needs to consider switching to other communications systems seeing as Starlink is basically compromised.
