SpaceX’s CEO tweets the warning as the Ukrainian government installs the Starlink dishes to supply high-speed internet to nearby users.
Will the Russian military try to bomb Starlink dishes in Ukraine? SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is sounding the alarm about the possibility of an attack on his company’s equipment. “Important warning: Starlink is the only non-Russian communications system still working in some parts of Ukraine, so probability of being targeted is high. Please use with caution,” Musk tweeted today. Musk’s warning comes days after SpaceX delivered a shipment of Starlink dishes to the Ukrainian government to help ensure it can maintain internet access while facing the Russian invasion. Ukrainian Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov tweeted a photo to Musk, showing a Starlink dish installed on a building’s roof, making it a visible target.
