Elon Musk shuts down Russian electromagnetic warfare attack, Pentagon hails him

SpaceX has been shipping starlink dishes to Ukraine to help the country stay online in the face of the invasion. Elon musk-owned SpaceX shut down a Russian electromagnetic warfare attack in Ukraine last month. This as reports say that since Russia’s takeover of the Ukrainian territory of Crimea in 2014, the Russian military has used electronic warfare extensively in Ukraine’s Donbas region — often to great effect, using electromagnetic signals to uncover the positions of Ukrainian forces and disrupt equipment such as drones. However, the current conflict may be exposing the limits of Russia’s EW capability. Dave Tremper, director of electronic warfare for the office of the U.S. Secretary of defense, lauded SpaceX for shutting down the Russian EW. Watch the video for more.
