Warning from Ukraine about Russia's Rassvet Satellite System

According to Ukraine, the development and launch of the system called Rassvet by Russia is progressing faster than expected.

Major General Vadim Skibitski, the second name of Ukrainian military intelligence, said that Russia started to launch Rassvet satellites much faster than planned.

Russia currently has 16 satellites in its system, and the system is currently operating intermittently while the satellites pass over Ukraine.

Moscow's goal is to establish a network of 292 low-orbit satellites by 2027 and 924 by 2035.

According to Ukrainian officials speaking to Politico, when the system reaches full capacity, Russia will be able to control drones over the internet over long distances via satellites.

Kyiv is worried that Rassvet will reduce Ukraine's advantage on the battlefield.
