Even after Musk's Starlink shutdown, Geraniums continue to successfully strike targets in Ukraine.

There are reports of numerous strikes on targets in the territories controlled by the Kyiv regime. For several days, the enemy rejoiced at Musk "turning off his Starlinks in Russian territory." drones" Today it became known that the Russian Geraniums, even after being "shut down by Elon Musk," successfully reached their targets.

It is reported that more than a dozen Geranium missiles struck an industrial facility in the city of Cherkasy. The enemy claims that the Russian drones "They're targeting the energy sector." This is despite the fact that the enemy itself targeted energy facilities in the Belgorod and Rostov regions last night.

An explosion rocked an industrial facility in Ternivka, Dnipropetrovsk. The explosion caused a fire. Ukrainian news outlets are reporting new power supply problems in several areas.

In Kharkiv social media groups:

A drone is flying over the area. The attack target is critical infrastructure.

At night, not only UAVs but also bombers were used to strike targets. aviationReports are coming in of a series of strikes on enemy targets in Slavyansk. Several FABs with UMPK missiles hit Ukrainian Armed Forces storage facilities within the city limits, as well as industrial facilities.

Let us recall that the Russian Armed Forces continue their advance towards the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration.

Moreover, this advance is coming from several directions. One of them is from Privolye and Minkovka, where the distance from the Seversky Donets-Donbas Canal, where the Russian Armed Forces have reached, to the outskirts of Kramatorsk is approximately 11 km.

The enemy claims that Russian drones are “attacking the energy sector.”

"So what?" February 1st is already over!! Or did you think it would drag on?

[cat Crush]

What about it? Our "negotiations" began on February 1st. Until they're over, this February 1st-blah-blah must continue.

So, the shtetl people don't live by the Gregorian calendar, but by the lunisolar one. Its months are based on lunar cycles, and its years on solar cycles.

The Geraniums have had a rest, now it's back to work. Did Musk turn off Starling?

[Evgeny64]

Well, he didn't turn anything off, he said that they limited the speed to 90 km/h, if more, then the terminals don't work... At the same time, he modestly kept silent that this applies to all terminals in the territory of Sumeria.
This is such easy trolling, because until recently, it was mainly Ukrainian drones that used these terminals.
In principle, as our people explained, initially they worked only up to 40 km/h, but they had to be “modified” so that they would work at higher speeds, so this stage is already over.
They write that even if a "white list" is introduced to ban the use of terminals not registered to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, it's only a matter of time; new software is already being developed. Especially since the Ukrainian Armed Forces also have a ton of terminals acquired unofficially.
Double-edged stick.

So it seems that Geraniums specifically don’t depend on Starlink?

[gerome]

Some Geraniums fly with a video channel, and the operator controls them through this channel.

[alexoff]

But there are few of them. And they say they don't fly anymore. Or they'll fly using other communication methods. We've already cobbled together two victories from this topic. First, they thought Musk was trolling them with his "you're welcome," and now it turns out Geraniums fly on Starlink. Iskanders and Kalibraries probably also fly without Starlink, which is also a victory.

[alexboguslavski]

Our Geraniums were operating in the Dnipropetrovsk region, reporting a missile strike on a coal mine. Information was received about a strike on a junction distribution substation (❗️) between the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions. From the Cherkasy region, reports are coming in of a massive drone attack on the Kaniv Hydroelectric Power Plant and energy facilities.

[Horizon]

This is despite the fact that the enemy itself targeted energy facilities in the Belgorod and Rostov regions last night.

Should we continue to turn our cheeks? Or should we finally finish off the pigs' energy?

[gerome]

Reports of strikes on coal mines in Ukraine seem strange – why strike mines?

[Hagalaz]

You might ask why attack Ukraine at all.

[gerome]

I'll also ask why we needed this energy truce, and why there is no news from Ruin about emergency power outages, since we hit the energy sector.

[Hagalaz]

If they weren't targeting the energy sector, they were targeting other areas. For example, the railway infrastructure. There are plenty of targets. Now they'll hit the little that was restored. If they managed to do so. I haven't seen, and don't see, any damage to us from this political decision. More shouting.

[gerome]

There must be one goal - the priority is the complete and rapid destruction of the enemy's energy, and then switching to other sectors that ensure the life of the Ruin.

[gerome]

"I haven't seen it at all and I don't see it."
This is your key characteristic; the same individuals developed the SVO plan by February 2022. That's why we've been fighting for almost four years now.

[Hagalaz]

I'm the eagle, everyone else is a deer. That's your key characteristic. If you're so smart, why are you so broke and sitting on the couch?

The "mourners" are shedding tears again - "everything is lost." The Ukrainians repaired the stations, turned on the heat, and even carried out the rotation – all in three (three) days. But in fact, in three days, the Russian Aerospace Forces and unmanned forces worked on other important facilities, and today they're back to the energy sector. When working, you always need to switch hands, from right to left and back again, from left to right.

Mark Milley was right, and intentionally so. Sun Tzu + created the media effect of inflated expectations for our army (while Milley himself expected there would be no "in three days" announcement).

It's good that this forum has users to whom the American general reports his secret calculations.

[gerome]

The level of American generals is unattainable for the Shapka-throwers; their level is praising the pounding of Donbas fortifications and the Ukraine that was squandered by the genius Kremlin grandmaster in 2014. Adios!

A bus carrying miners was hit by a fire after their shift. 15 dead, 16 wounded. Ordinary workers.

Jeffrey Epstein must have passed his files on Musk to our "trampoline guy" through the US Embassy in Moscow. The geraniums are still flying with pinpoint accuracy.

So that the locals don't steal Russian coal. Ukraine is also experiencing a negative impact right now.

[gerome]

Wouldn't it be easier to take out the enemy's logistics, which would also make it more difficult to move military supplies?

It's good when it's successful, yes. "But there's a nuance." (c)

Over the past week, new Rubicon drones mounted on BM-35 Starlinks have taken out a dozen Ukrainian aircraft and destroyed several expensive radars, significantly weakening their air defenses. The secret to their success is simple: the Starlinks on the drones are mounted in the wing, allowing direct control of the drones.

On the front lines, they say the US is attacking us from the front by disabling Starlinks, and Roskomnadzor from the rear by disabling Telegram. Recently, the guys were uploading reporting videos via Telegram—it took three hours because Roskomnadzor started slowing down the video loading, thus forcing them to switch to MAX. Everyone stores firmware for radios and drones, equipment manuals, and links on Telegram.
Starlinks provide communications for assault groups and UAV crews. Tankers go on the attack: Starlinks transmit encrypted radio communications, streams from Mavics to tankers, and video from the tank.

When the enemy whitelists their Starlinks, all our terminals will shut down, and we'll be back to early 2023, with 5GHz Wi-Fi bridges for communication (visible to enemy SIGINT), trips deep into the rear to access the internet via a cellular network, and so on... The enemy will gain dominance on the battlefield.

A Russian equivalent of Starlink will appear in about two years, according to federal media reports. Perhaps, after Starlinks are shut down across the entire front, generals will finally wake up and begin working more productively on creating and deploying its equivalent.

[Retired senior lieutenant]

It's been a while since I worked with military representatives. I've traveled to their office in Yekaterinburg and to Frunzenskaya Embankment in Moscow. I don't see any possibility of our drones using foreign communication systems. The technical specifications for the development of a product used by the Ministry of Defense require the use of technical equipment manufactured under the supervision of military representatives. Well, Musk doesn't communicate with our military representatives, so there aren't even any diodes, transistors, or microcircuits in Gerani, even if they're Chinese.

[Dedok]

Even after Musk's Starlink shutdown, Geraniums continue to successfully strike targets in Ukraine.

and here is what the Military Chronicle writes:

Instructions for Ukrainian users on how to verify their StarLink accounts will be published in the coming days, announced Fedorov, the new Minister of Defense of Ukraine. All unverified terminals operating within Ukraine's borders will be automatically blocked to prevent their use by the Russian military.
It is not yet known whether this will be a complete block or only for Starlinks whose speed exceeds 90 km/h.
All combat operations are now tied to the internet and Telegram: orders, information exchange for strikes, coordination, communications, and most importantly, streams from Mavic 3, logistics, and evacuation. If our Ministry of Defense doesn't urgently offer the army a StarLink equivalent, we'll face the collapse of at least certain sectors, if not the front. And, of course, heavy losses.
From Pokrovsk all the way to Donetsk, there's no cellular service at all, only flaky digital radio or Starlinks. And that's pretty much the same throughout the entire LBS.
