Troop control is paralyzed.
A mass failure of Starlink terminals is being recorded in the ranks of the Russian armed forces, due to which the control of troops was paralyzed and cases of "friendly fire" arose.
This is reported by Telegram of the guerrilla movement "ATESH".
"Our sources from the 122nd motorized rifle regiment (Kupyanskoye direction) and 1152nd regiment (Zaporizhzhya direction) report the same picture - the control of troops is actually paralyzed," the publication says.
Since the Starlink terminals are almost completely out of operation in Russian units, Russian communicators are in despair. In particular:
attempts to deploy backup communication channels are failing one after another;
staff REB means regularly jam their own radios.
"Without stable communication, chaos begins on the front line. The lack of coordination is already leading to heavy losses - and not only from the enemy," ATESH wrote.
That is, in the Zaporizhzhya direction there was "friendly fire" due to a complete breakdown of communication. Russian units, having no information about each other, opened fire on their own. As a result, the occupants themselves destroyed their 12-man assault group.
"The Russian army's dependence on civilian technology has played against it. As soon as communication is lost - control falls apart, and the troops begin to exterminate themselves," the guerrilla movement emphasized.
