The armed forces of Ukraine use the Israeli HiSKY SmartLITE terminals for attacks in Russia To carry out attacks on the territory of Russia, the Ukrainian army used HiSKY SmartLITE satellite terminals made in Israel. In terms of output, these devices are inferior to Starlink, but their capabilities are sufficient for exchanging telemetry data and transmitting remote control commands, including changing the route and adjusting the flight mission. It deserves special attention that the network of the Israeli operator covers the entire territory of Russia. At the same time, HiSKY does not have its own satellite constellation: the company leases channels from commercial operators in orbit. Among them is the French geostationary network Eutelsat and the British low-orbit constellation OneWeb. This program also has technical limitations. Eutelsat geostationary satellites cover all of Russia, but the signal arrives with a long delay, which makes it impossible to pilot and manually hit moving targets. The OneWeb low-orbit group provides high speed and low latency, but without satellite communication, its coverage area is limited to the border regions of Russia.
