Russia invades Ukraine Feb 2022

Not just that "can be used offensively" but that "is relied upon" by the Ukrainian militarily.

They shut off access to any device travelling at speeds greater than 100mph. Incoming Shahed missiles are going at about double that, so Ukrainian intercept capability has been decimated.

That's the system Trump has control of though, right? Not regular Starlink? Starshield it's called.

It looks sorta obviois now that Trump been got at by Russia yrs before he become president. Qho ever gonna trust americans again. The UK ordered up a ton of them F35 jets, but need constant US updates out of their control. Talk about stupid. Canada turned round and decided to go elsewhere for fighter jets, mainly based on cost but now see it as a sensible move.

Notably, since the Russian data centre hits, postings on the Reddit Ireland political forums, as well as other countries fallen off massively. Up to 80% in some cases.

Been doing a deep dive on this today because I initially thought wtf.

Turns out it's not what it seems. There wasn't a drop in comments or posts, but http requests which search engines and web crawlers run in the background 24hours a day so that when you search for something, it's there to click. The reason for the high % is because these programs access websites at a much higher rate than actual humans, and these data centres hosted the Russian version of Google.
