Russian war correspondents are saying that the attempts to micromanage the war through toggling Starlink on and off have massively backfired, because the new satellite terminals permit mid-course corrections, which have made Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries much more devastating: https://x.com/Tweet4AnnaNAFO/status/2120068909738967342

Important note: the USA has never permitted the use of Starlinks to strike inside Russia, and they were mostly not used to strike refineries. Starlinks were only used inside Ukrainian territory to hit Russian logistics. This is the first time satellite communications have been used to hit refineries inside Russia.
