But, Starlink terminals have GPS in them, surely? Aren't they geofenced anyway?
They're using them in Ukraine. Can't geofence the country and still allow the Ukrainians to use them.
They could geogence crimea. But Elon refuses to because he wants the fascist to win.
The Russians are not contained to Crimea, did you forget about the war going on?
You don't need to draw the fence along a national border, but yeah, I guess the front is a bit flexible.
So if they can isolate the russian starlink terminals... and they have gps.. sounds like targeting coordinates for ukrainians to me.
Not necessarily. They may have identified all the serial numbers of terminals legitimately used by Ukraine then simply blocked all terminals not on that list.
They're not registered as Russian, many were stolen. If you just start handing out their coordinates the chances that some are civilian are too high.
