Russia has already launched the first 16 satellites of its Rassvet constellation into orbit, where they are currently operating in test mode.
According to Ukrinform, this was reported on Facebook by Ukrainian Defense Ministry adviser Serhii Beskrestnov, better known by his callsign Flash.
“Russia’s Starlink equivalent is the Bureau 1440 project,” he wrote.
Beskrestnov said he had been inundated with questions after the Ukrainian defense outlet Militarnyi compiled publicly available information about the Rassvet satellite project in a video review.
In response, he provided a structured assessment of the program.
