Interesting read, apparently all of this is enabled mostly by russia losing starlink access.

Which is fucking insane on multiple levels, not only that private hands control this crucial element of communication and essentially remotely decide the battle outcome, but also that there is apparently still not a single viable alternative available controlled by any other party.

Some fucking guy owning unimaginably much quite literally meddles in the fate of whole countries. Not to mention all the people fighting who essentially die or not die on elons whim.
