Russian military correspondent Alexander Kots said that the Russian Armed Forces use Elon Musk's technology in military actions. According to Kots, the Russian military use Starlink satellites in the special military operation zone. "The troops actively use Starlink in the SVO (SVO is a Russian abbreviation for special military operation — ed.). We use it, among other things, for broadcast to command posts, to get images from reconnaissance UAVs,” the military correspondent said. This has significantly raised the level of Russian intelligence, the military correspondent added.

The minister said the satellite internet services provider is in the process of completing all the requirements and they will get a licence once they complete the process.

Reliance Jio, which is pushing for auctioning spectrum, said that arguments that satellite frequencies are always assigned in a shared mode and on a non-exclusive basis are both factually and technically incorrect and should be ignored

Вчера наконец–то выдалось ясное ночное небо и выперся, значит, я полюбоваться звездами.
Соловьи поют, комаров еще нет, звезды зихатять — идилия прям.
Звездопада, к сожалению, не случилось — ну да не суть.
Лежу себе на скамеечке, любуюсь — ну и боковым зрением замечаю движение звездочки в небе — практически параллельно горизонту. Ну самолёт может — не сильно интересно.
Взглядом возвращаюсь в зенит — ну и там тоже движется огонёк, на юг, если не ошибаюсь. Проводил его взглядом, опять взгляд в центр — а там опять, по этой же траектории, огонёк летит — прям дежа вю :). Посмотрел и за этим — опять глаза назад — а там снова — как гиф–файл в цикле.
Считать я сначала не сообразил — просто смотрел — выглядело не так величественно, как год назад — одним звездным "поездом" — но интересно наблюдать было.
В какой–то момент очередной огонек пересекся с траекторией другого движущегося огонька, справа от меня — тут опять дежа вю — пару минут назад я там видел пролет другого и он практически летел на той же траектории (легко понять так как он пролетал между парой звезд).
Опять вернулся взглядом — и давай уже считать — закончилось на 14.
Между огоньками интервал было примерно как между верхними звездами в ковше Большой медведицы.
Шоу окончилось и на последнем траектория опять пересекается с движущимся огоньком параллельно горизонту. И опять — траектория его почти повторяет предыдущих двух, опять пролет между двумя звездами, уже на условный сантиметр выше.
Я давай смотреть туда — но там ничего :)
Немного повернул лавку и лёг так чтобы эта область была у меня в периферическом зрении — еще пару мин — опять огонёк летит :)
В общем, через каждые 4 с половиной минут там пролетал огонек.
Я просмотрел еще 6 пролетов да и пошёл таки спать.

Теперь "движуха" в небе. Пока звездами любоваться не мешает нисколько, скорее как приятное дополнение к картине :)
Интересно как оно в дальнейшем будет
