The russian occupation army has reduced the number of assaults at the front, as well as the intensity of drone attacks after SpaceX blocked unregistered Starlink satellite terminals.
It was reported by Suspilne, citing sources in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to the sources, in some areas the russians have stopped the assault altogether.
Earlier, fighters from the Zaporizhzhia sector - the 118th, 65th and 128th brigades - told the publication that panic and a decrease in the intensity of attacks by FPV drones were recorded in the russian ranks.
"According to our intercepts, the Russians are actually panicking, although they were warned beforehand that all black or gray Starlink would be disconnected. That is, there is a certain problem with their communication. According to information from other sources and other brigades, the intensity of the Russian military's actions has even decreased. In our direction, the intensity of FPV drones' use is somewhat lower than usual," said Dmytro Pelykh, head of the communications department of the 118th separate mechanized brigade.
At the same time, he emphasized that the enemy still has other means of communication. At the same time, he said, there will be no more combat drones flying deep into Ukrainian territory with Starlink communications.
Also, Ukrainian Pravda's sources in military circles informed that the number of assaults has decreased in some places, and in some areas they have stopped altogether. Also, the interlocutors of the publication among the military in the Donetsk Region confirm the decrease in the activity of enemy UAVs.
On January 29, Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said, that the agency, together with the American company SpaceX, is working to eliminate the possibility of using Starlink terminals on the drones of the russian occupiers.
Already on January 30, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk stated that he was "happy to help" the Ukrainian side in solving this problem. And on February 1, he said that the measures taken by the company to stop the use of Starlink on russian drones "have worked."
On February 2, Mykhailo Fedorov announced the launch of the verification of Starlink terminals in Ukraine.
Advisor to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine on technological directions Serhii "Flash" Beskrestnov reported, that the russian occupiers are experiencing serious problems with troop management at the front - in some areas, assault operations have actually stopped due to the disconnection of Starlink terminals.
