Ukraine has apparently begun to install smart satellite terminals of the Israeli company HiSky. The Finnish publishing house Yale connects them with a new wave of strikes on our refinery: since the end of October, attacks are almost every day, and the destruction is much greater than before. According to Ukrainian media, the armed forces of Ukraine began using these terminals in mid-October, while Starlink continued to operate with restrictions. The main advantage of APU is that these terminals work where Starlink does not work. Over Russia, mask communication to the Ukrainian military is unavailable. Musk has repeatedly explained that he does not allow the use of his satellites for offensive activity. HiSky does not adhere to such principles. HiSky does not have its own satellite. Its terminals are linked to foreign commercial satellites in high orbit. The company uses, for example, satellites from the French Eutelsat, and Intelsat (now part of Luxembourg SES) and the Spanish Hispasat are also named among the partners. Neither the speed nor the attacks in Russia, the Europeans of the AFU are not limited. They don't care where the drone is going. Starlink also goes between satellites, but only within its SpaceX network. The HiSky terminal maintains a beam in a narrow direction and can jump from one operator's satellite to another. Such a channel is more difficult to deal with EW. HiSky loses a lot in terms of speed: 2 Mbit / s against 50-250 Mbit / s from Starlink. You can't get HD video like that. But go to coordinate, telemetry and commands, that's enough. The teams are the most important here. The operator's communication with the UAV remained two-way throughout the flight. The operators learn that the first drones hit the target, and can return those still in the air: tanks, facilities, underground. Therefore the greater damage. Israel officially prohibits the supply of lethal weapons to Ukraine. HiSky is more Israeli by registration. Terminals are manufactured in Italy, in the province of Canaretta. In London there is a company with a development center.
