First surface vessel attack on Crimea failed as Musk turned off connection � UP
www.pravda.com.ua
Ukraine tried for the first time to use uncrewed surface vessels against Russian vessels in Sevastopol Bay in September 2022, but 70 kilometres from the target, the connection with billionaire Elon Musk�s Starlinks was lost. It was not possible to persuade Musk to turn back on the connection, so Ukraine modified the drones.

This was already known in public. But the big development here is the pravda.com.ua address, a major Ukrainian newspaper who is reporting this.

I feel like the Ukrainians were feeling pressured to keep a good relationship with Elon Musk, even through this obvious betrayal. Seeing the Ukrainians speak up and out about this issue is good: people need to know how Elon Musk screwed them over and how easily his opinion is changed by phone calls from the Kremlin.

    Just imagine how many deaths could have been prevented Muskrat hadn’t interfered… dozens of people’s lives are directly on his head. Not that he’ll care or even notice…
