Elon Musk through the spacecraft company he leads, SpaceX, is said to have indirectly played a significant role in helping Ukraine withstand Russian attacks. Even Russia is said to have suffered enough because of the technology provided by Elon.
SpaceX, as is well known, has launched many Starlink satellites into space in order to provide a commercial internet connection. Now specifically for Ukraine, Elon broadcasts the internet for free with the help of the satellite.
Due to the Russian attack, much of the telecommunications and internet infrastructure in Ukraine has been paralyzed. Because of this, Elon's internet help is very useful.
Well, not only to access the virtual world, the internet system is also very crucial in fighting Russia, for example to control drones.
Ukrainian drones are connected to the Starlink system so they can be used optimally to attack Russian convoys and vehicles. In addition, also for reconnaissance missions from a distance.
The Ukrainian side has several times displayed evidence of the effectiveness of combat drones to destroy Russian military assets. If it weren't for Elon Musk's Starlink internet, the drone would be of little use.
Not only the internet from above, SpaceX also sends a receiving station to Ukraine. Elon Musk complied with the request of the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, to provide connections in several cities in his country.
The president has also expressed his gratitude. He also invited Elon to come to Ukraine when the war with Russia was over.
"Even though Russia is blocking internet access, Ukraine is becoming more open to the rest of the world. Truth always wins. Thank you Elon Musk," one Ukrainian official wrote on Twitter, showing several Starlink internet stations.
