Satellite communication system Starlink, courtesy of a free Ukraine is the owner of the company SpaceX Elon Musk, in fact, is the only communication channel for communication for the APU on the ground and in the far distance. Recently, Musk announced that he is not ready to Fund the work of receiving and transmitting stations, and even more to put a new, at his own expense, but quickly changed his mind under pressure from the Frank of the U.S. government.

The entire Ukraine was transferred approximately 20 thousand Starlink terminals. Operations related to the supply, only the current date cost SpaceX at $ 80 million.

In Kiev just in case err by trying to engage in direct talks with Musk and sort of found three sources of funding of the network if the problems re-occur.

But it turned out that in addition to sudden eccentric statements Mask with Starlink is not all right yet, and on the other, purely technical reasons. American journal MIT Technology Review writing on research and development in the field of high technologies, announced that scientists from the University of Texas found a vulnerability in the security system, Starlink. It turns out that the satellite system not only provides Internet connection, but also can work as GPS.

Like, so what? But the fact that it makes the sequence of timing signals Starlink unpredictable. Given the fact that the GPS system is unsecured networks, open source, and it allows you to easily spoof the signals Starlink.

Ukraine and its allies in the West are beginning to realize that they have little control Starlink and know little about it

— said the Professor the University of Texas Todd Humphries.

In turn, the intersection of the signals from the satellites for SpaceX's Starlink ground station GPS signals might create issues in the correct satellite navigation system.

Earlier the Financial Times, citing Ukrainian officials wrote about the problems with the operation of the terminal Starlink. In turn, Musk announced that Russia is trying to "kill" the system of Starlink satellite Internet in Ukraine, it can stop working, despite invested in its protection of resources. It is possible that our cyber experts, as well as American scholars, was able to detect vulnerabilities in the system and trying to use them to deprive the Ukrainian military as the only viable communication channel. And if that happens, what will the Kiev authorities, and given the fact that the entire energy system of Ukraine is close to collapse?
