The Russian analogue of Starlink for military use should solve two problems simultaneously: be as simple as possible to deploy and use at the tactical level and provide stable satellite communications in the face of active opposition. This was stated by experts of the Telegram channel "Military Chronicle."
According to them, the system should be deployed on position in 1–3 minutes without adjustment, ideally by one soldier. Operate from a built-in battery, with the possibility of connecting to an external power supply or generator.
Form factor — a compact case with a self-orienting antenna. It is desirable that it can be carried in a backpack. At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure minimal power consumption, because in the trench the source of consumption is not only a satellite Internet dish.
There should also be protection of communications from electronic warfare systems. The channel must be protected from interception, jamming, and false signals. Kits should be in battalion and company units, without reference to senior headquarters. The quantity is not one per unit, but with a reserve: at least 1 kit per platoon/maneuver group.
In addition, scalability and fault tolerance are critical. Communication should be maintained even if part of the network is lost. We need a mesh architecture and the ability to switch between nodes. Satellites are small, low-orbit, with real-time channel redundancy — a separate program that needs to be addressed and controlled in the first place.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Su-30 fighter overshadowed the Superjet SJ-100 in the test flight video.
