It's used for LAUNCHING drones of war, guys. It's not a drone of war itself. It doesn't participate in the war, it doesn't kill people. It's a non-war application of starlink, guys.
The drones it launches could just as easily be used for scientific research.
It's not a war drone.
Perfectly legitimate use of American technology that is in no way supporting an aggressive regimes strategy of targeting civilians.
Starlink is not being used for military applications, and should still be a private company. It shouldn't be militarised government owned system like GPS. Cause the mother drones could be launching science drops.

" To do this, service companies are looking for those who can “lend” their data. Users in Telegram customer support chats say that it is not difficult to buy and register a terminal abroad. This is mostly done in Europe and delivered via the United Arab Emirates."
