    “Raytheon never deactivated their missiles, they just don’t work over the target.”

    That’s deactivating them dummy. Where do you think Ukraine is going with their Starlinks? Disneyland?

      Over Ukrainian territory. For defensive purposes. Where it was originally agreed for. Crimea hasn’t been Ukraine for years (even though it should be). Offensives into Russia were not part of any operational original deals.

      It’s not deactivating if it was never live there.

          Yes. However Russia has claimed it years before this conflict and threatened retaliation if westerners interfere. It’s why all of the supplies we give are only used in Ukraine. The attacks on Russian soil are not with Western supplies intentionally and this would be no different.

            No, it claimed when conflict started. Just before February Putin didn’t go any further.

        The individual base station (or whatever) has its service deactivated when it goes to Crimea, which is internationally recognized as Ukrainian territory.

        No one but Russian bootlickers think Crimea is part of Russia.

          Right. The individual base stations always have had a service region. It’s why I can’t use starlink over international waters and the same thing happens from a fishing boat or anything. There’s no purposeful deactivations. Just boundaries of service already established.

          It’s literally part of the service when you sign up.

          You’re right that technically he could provide coverage anywhere in the world. There’s lots of reasons he doesn’t. But that’s always been part of the service.

          18 UNcountries recognize it as Russian territory. Some of them large superpowers or economic hubs. Including one that’s expected to launch starlink soon. (Though all generally shitty countries.)

          But aside from that. The rules for supplying things to Ukraine were spelled out very clearly. It’s why none of the Western supplies hsve been used in Russian territory attacks. Doing so Russia claimed it would retaliate.

          The articles are claiming that he intentionally turned it off when it was originally on and that’s not the case. It was never active there.

            Russia, Belarus, China, North Korea, Cuba, Eritrea. What are rest of 12 countries?

              India , and several African and middle eastern countries. (iirc Iran was on there etc). By no means a real winner list but just worth noting.

              In particular India which starlink is set to go active in very soon.
