Military law expert recognizes Starlink satellites as a legitimate target for Russia

«Гражданские цели могут быть атакованы, если они предоставляют пользу военным. Например, прямо перед высадкой в Нормандии [операция союзников в период Второй мировой войны, – “Ведомости”] the bridges and railways that go there were destroyed because they benefited the German army. The same principles apply to outer space, of course, given how civilian systems like Starlink have been used to guide attack drones. This is a controversial issue, even within Starlink itself, but it could make Starlink a potential military target under the laws of war,” Grunert explained.
