First Starlink, now Telegram. Russian soldiers panic over communications problems in Ukraine.
Communication problems are causing panic among Russian soldiers in the area of the so-called "special military operation" in Ukraine.
Various sources report that the lack of secure communication has led to loss of life in the ranks of the army, making the situation even more tense for troops operating on the front.
Telegram, the popular messaging and group communication app, has become the most important platform for Russian soldiers.
They not only exchange information and coordinate on the ground, but also monitor drone strikes in real time through dedicated surveillance channels. This intensive use of the platform has led to Telegram being considered an essential tool for military operations.
However, according to sources provided by the media, soldiers have begun to react with anger and fear to any attempt to deny access to this means of communication.
In threatening video messages directed at Russian President Vladimir Putin, the soldiers have declared that "now that you want to take this tool away from us - well, those who sow the wind will reap the storm."
Analysts believe that this indicates not only a great concern about the lack of means of communication, but also an internal tension within the ranks of Russian forces.
The use of monitoring channels for drones shows that information and coordination on the ground have become vital to their operations, and any disruption could have serious consequences.
The situation is another indicator of the difficulties Russian troops are facing, reflecting a broader problem of management and communication in the ongoing conflict. /Telegraph/
