Doesn’t surprise me. Russia wants to use ones that won’t get jammed and they can’t be that hard to get.

Ukraine should build some protections into their cell network. Like if the signal is coming from a high altitude and doesn’t follow any known commercial flight path (if commercial flights are even flying in that area), or if it exceeds a certain speed that varies, and isn’t on a Ukraine military whitelist, then interrupt the signal just enough to make it ineffective for combat.

Should have been kept quiet so that kyivstar can provide warning and tracking of these systems. Maybe they did. Maybe it’s already played out. I guess the story here is that Russia doesn’t have a c&c radio network that works?

I’ve been seeing a lot of news from Ukraine that make me wonder why they’re not being more secretive. Don’t give the Russians anything.
