Russian military personnel have fully established internet communications without using the American satellite system Starlink. Journalist Aleksandr Sladkov reported this, citing the commander of one of the brigades.

Only now this is not a foreign Starlink, but my internet, and now I do not think about whether it will be switched off or not switched off."

The introduction of aerostats with relay transmitters and airborne command posts on aircraft is also expected, so that communications operate as efficiently as possible.
