Tecnologia · Soberania de satélitePutin elogia Musk enquanto a rival russa da Starlink dá os primeiros passosEscrito 29 de outubro de 2026 às 10:38 UTCAssistirTranscrição0:07Vladimir Putin called Elon Musk a real genius while Russia builds its own satellite0:11internet network.0:12Ukraine depends on Musk's technology for battlefield communications, and recent0:16restrictions forced it to cancel some operations.0:19How close is Russia to a working rival?0:21And what does Putin's claimed contact with Musk actually involve?0:25Putin interrupted a presentation of RASFET, Russia's satellite internet project, to0:30praise Musk.0:31Digital Development Minister Maksut Shadeev was presenting the system during an0:35exhibition visit with African leaders and delegation heads in Moscow on0:38October28,2026 .0:40Rasvet means dawn.0:42Bureau1440 is developing the constellation, which Shadayev presented as Russia's0:47equivalent of Starlink.0:48The exhibition promoted technologies for sovereign development during the Russia0:52Africa Gathering.0:53Its economic and humanitarian forum runs October twenty-eight and twenty-nine.0:57Putin acknowledged that Russia was taking its first steps and said the task was to1:01move from quality to quantity.1:02Shidayev said Russia had launched more than thirty satellites.1:05He supplied the more than five.1:07Zero figure for Musk's fleet, which Putin repeated.1:10A contemporary tracking estimate put Starlink close to ten, zero.1:13Putin's lower bound leaves much of that constellation out of the comparison.1:17A separate catalog snapshot listed thirty, one RASFET satellites on October twenty1:21eight.1:22That counts tracked active objects rather than every spacecraft ever launched.1:26It also doesn't tell us how many deliver service.1:28Satellite totals alone tell us little about comparable coverage, capacity, or1:32reliability.1:33Shadayev's launch figure remains an official claim.1:35Ukraine already relies on Starlink for frontline communications and drone1:39operations, including deliveries of food and water to soldiers.1:42Starlink isn't offered as an operating service in Russia.1:45An independent constellation would give Russia its own route to that connectivity.1:48Shadayev promised cheap, fast internet worldwide and named two thousand and twenty1:53eight for a goal of about three hundred satellites.1:55Descriptions differ over whether deployment would happen in that year or by then.1:59Bureau one thousand four hundred forty describes a constellation of several hundred2:02spacecraft and plans commercial operation in two thousand and twenty-seven.2:06Starting commercial service would be one milestone on the way to that larger2:09network.2:10Starlink satellites orbit far below traditional geostationary communication2:13satellites.2:14The shorter signal path reduces travel time.2:16A functioning constellation can connect places where ground links are unavailable,2:20damaged or jammed.2:22Keeping spacecraft from interfering with one another is the purpose Putin gave for2:25American contacts.2:27Putin said Russia maintained close contact with American partners, including Musk,2:32over activity in orbit.2:33He described Roscosmos and other Russian companies working with American2:36counterparts despite political disagreements.2:38His claim of contact with Musk hasn't been confirmed independently.2:42The cooperation he described concerned keeping order in orbit.2:45Putin linked the contacts to avoiding interference between satellites.2:48He praised the scale of Musk's achievement while describing Russia's effort to2:52emulate it.2:53His remarks offered no evidence that those contacts caused the restrictions Ukraine2:56had experienced earlier in October.2:58Ukraine said those restrictions hampered its ability to intercept Russian attack3:02drones and force some operations to be cancelled.3:04The disruption lasted more than a week.3:06Ukraine also uses Star Shield, related military technology controlled by the United3:10States government.3:11The speed limits affected how fast connected weapons and platforms could move while3:15staying connected.3:16The reported threshold during the disruption was about one hundred miles an hour.3:20After restoration, Ukraine's defense ministry recorded stable connectivity above two3:24hundred fifty miles an hour for projectiles and interceptors.3:27Those figures describe movement speeds at which connections worked, rather than3:31internet download rates.3:32President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on October twenty-four that Starlink and Star3:37Shield had returned to their previous operating speeds.3:39That restoration preceded Putin's praise by four days.3:42Musk acknowledged a restriction affecting Starlink and defended it as enforcement of3:46the civilian services rules against offensive drone strikes.3:49Ukraine disputed his allegation that its military had violated those rules.3:53Musk said on October14 that the US, military and ultimately the president decided3:59Star Shield's limits.4:00Zelensky said Ukrainian officials believed Washington was behind the disruption.4:04The Trump administration denied interfering with Ukraine's Star Shield access.4:08Musk maintained that Starlink remained critical to Ukraine's defense.4:12Russia is still working toward a service on the scale it promises.4:15Putin described orbital coordination with American partners.4:18While Ukraine's interrupted connections had already been restored, responsibility4:22for imposing the speed curbs across both systems remains unresolved.4:26Musk's acknowledgement of a Starlink restriction leaves the separate decisions4:29governing StarShield unexplained.Ler o artigoCronologia da
