Russian President Vladimir Putin's troops have opened fire on each other after Ukrainian officials forced Elon Musk to disable the Starlink terminals used by them.
Communications on Russia's battlefield are said to be in "chaos."
The loss of satellite-based internet connectivity has "caused deadly incidents" on the Russian side.
Russian communications specialists are desperate - attempts to set up backup communication channels are failing one after another, standard electronic warfare systems regularly jam even their radios.
In the direction of Zaporizhzhia, a complete breakdown of communications resulted in a typical case of 'fire'.
As a result, an assault group of 12 Russians was completely destroyed by its own forces.
The move came after Ukraine said last week it was working with Musk's SpaceX to block the use of Starlink in Russian attack drones.
Ukrainian officials had previously warned of Russia's increasing use of this service, including for Shahed and Molniya drones launched against civilians.
Musk confirmed on Sunday that SpaceX's actions to stop illegal use of Starlink appear to have worked. /Telegraph/
