On June 22, the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the Dubna and Vladimir Space Communications Centers.
The facility in Dubna is the largest ground-based satellite communications complex in Russia. The center is used for military communications and to control satellite transponders employed by the Russian Ministry of Defense for communications, reconnaissance, and troop coordination.
The systematic UAV attacks on Russian space communications centers are linked to Russia’s development of a satellite communications system similar to Starlink, called Rassvet.
What puzzles me is why ruSSia did not simply carpet-bomb Ukrainian positions in Donbas to take what they desire. Obviously ruSSia is weaker than putin claims. Instead they keep begging for Ukraine’s surrender. May explain Prigo’s attempted coup and much much more. In my view the West is more afraid of ruSSia’s collapse than of putin himself.
That could be true, and the reason is its nukes. But no one knows if they still work, or how many.
