Mangels eigener technischer Möglichkeiten setzte Putins Armee zunehmend auf das amerikanische Starlink-Satellitennetzwerk, um Drohnen und Artilleriegeschosse zu lenken. Jetzt wurde die Verbindung getrennt; die Wut der Militärblogger ist groß.

@sepehran @timkmak yes and no.

Certainly #NorthKorea is able to maintain that control by literally publicly executing any importer or owner of #Satcom equipment for "#espionage"...

If in doubt, #Sneakernet is the only truly resilient communications network!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneakernet

After all, #Iran has almost completed it's #Splinternet infrastructure and tight control over the #Internet.

It's not able to cut the cord amidst it's own, domestic and exporting #TechIndustry, as even the #IRGC-controlled #DIO needs to make videocalls to sell their stuff...

As for the average citizen, I expect them to organically copy the "Cuban Model" of Sneakernet and adapt to it.

The biggest hurdle is to get anything out of Iran, not into Iran.

And I doubt Embassies are going to install WiFi Dead Drops and risk getting their premises violated as this would be considered a "hostile act" against the host country similar to Election Interference!

#EU Deploys New Government #Satcom Program in #Sovereignty Push

The EU "has switched on parts of its homegrown secure #satellite communications network for the first time," reports Bloomberg, calling it part of a €10.6 billion push to "wean itself off US support amid growing tensions." SpaceNews notes the new gov program #GOVSATCOM pools capacity from eight already on-oribit satellites from #France , #Spain , #Italy , #Greece & #Luxembourg — both national & commercial.

@mf_newsdigest Interesting...

I guess #Bundeswehr doesn't want to rely on inseucre #UHFSATCOM & backdoored #NATO #Link22 / unencrypted #Link11 comms nor pay a commercial provider (#Iridium) of a hostile nation (#USA) for a proprietary solution (#NettedIridium)…

I wounder what the exact specs will be and whether they'll use it for emergency comms by @AuswaertigesAmt as well, since Iridium doesn"t have any encryption whatsoever…
