SpaceX Starlink satellite, owned by Ilona Mask, has angered Russia. He was accused of firing on the cruiser “Moscow”, which sank on Thursday. This is evidenced by new data from the General Staff of the Russian Federation.
Russia’s Deputy Security Council Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has ordered the destruction of the Starlink satellite over Russia and the Black Sea basin. This will ensure the security of all units involved in the “special military operation”.
He also said that Russia does not intend to militarize outer space, but will not allow others to do so. Medvedev said he would take action against anyone who tried to do so. He confirmed that the commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet IV Osipov will be removed from office, the State Duma said.
Medvedev later denied this: “I did not order the destruction of Mask’s satellites, but the idea is worth discussing,” read more at the link.
