Russia is developing its own satellite network for drone control
Published
Russia has begun deploying a new satellite network called "Rassvet" (Dawn). According to expert estimates, this project could be completed within the next six months. The main goal of the system is to provide stable communication for Russian military equipment.
Specialists note that "Rassvet" will operate on a principle similar to the Starlink system. This will allow the Russian military to control Shahed drones, reconnaissance drones, and low-cost missiles in real time. Such technology will significantly increase the effectiveness of drone usage on the battlefield.
Currently, Ukraine actively uses Starlink satellite communication to coordinate operations and control drones. The creation of a similar system by Russia could change the situation at the front, as it would allow the enemy to better control its strike assets over long distances.
Military analysts continue to monitor the development of this project. The emergence of Russia's own satellite network poses a serious challenge to Ukrainian defense, as it makes Russian attacks more precise and rapid. The international community is currently assessing the potential consequences of this technological development for the security situation in the region.
