A rather long writeup of how the Ukrainians have exploited the Russians dependence on Starlink. Gotta love those guys. The first few paragraphs are worth browsing for a chuckle, but it drags on until the little highlight I'm posting below.

The Starlink Trap

"Consider the operational chain: A Russian drone operator provides complete terminal data to activate service. The coordinates place the terminal at a specific grid reference—a tree line three kilometers behind current frontline positions. That location, cross-referenced with Ukrainian signals intelligence and pattern-of-life analysis, indicates a forward command post. The terminal’s connection history shows it’s been active for six weeks, suggesting semi-permanent positioning rather than a mobile unit.

Ukrainian artillery has coordinates. Ukrainian drones have targets. Ukrainian electronic warfare units have frequencies and device signatures to track.

The terminal becomes a beacon broadcasting its own position."
