据乌克兰游击队称，俄罗斯军队内部的星链终端大面积瘫痪，导致战场指挥瘫痪，并引发了致命的友军误伤事件。

阿特什游击队表示，乌克兰东部和南部的俄军部队在失去星链网络后，通信困难，指挥官无法控制部队。

阿特什称，驻扎在库皮扬斯克附近的俄罗斯第122摩托化步兵团和驻扎在扎波罗热州的第1152步兵团内部消息人士称，部队指挥“实际上已经瘫痪”。

据报道，由于星链终端大部分离线，俄罗斯通信部门一片混乱。部署备用通信渠道的尝试均告失败，而俄罗斯的电子战系统甚至经常干扰他们自己的无线电通讯。

阿特什说：“前线一旦通信不稳定，就会陷入混乱。缺乏协调已经造成了重大损失——而且不仅仅是敌军火力造成的损失。”

据报道，扎波罗热州就发生过这样一起事件：通信彻底中断导致友军误伤。游击队员称，俄军部队由于彼此位置不明，向己方开火，导致一支由12名士兵组成的突击队全军覆没。

“俄罗斯对民用技术的依赖最终反噬自身，”阿特什说，“一旦通信中断，指挥就会崩溃，部队就会开始自相残杀。”

此次通信中断发生在埃隆·马斯克和SpaceX公司近期决定关闭俄军在乌克兰使用的星链终端之后，导致约1000公里（620英里）长的战线沿线互联网接入中断。

乌克兰电子战专家谢尔盖·“闪电”·别斯克列斯特诺夫表示，几乎所有依赖星链的俄军前线部队都失去了传输安全数据的能力，导致指挥官无法协调进攻。

据俄罗斯军事博客作者称，一些俄军部队已被迫重新使用纸质地图和携带U盘的信使。

此前，乌克兰官员指出，俄罗斯越来越多地使用星链系统，包括用于袭击平民目标的自杀式无人机。

作为回应，SpaceX公司推出了“白名单”系统，只允许经过验证和授权的星链终端在乌克兰境内运行，从而有效地禁用了灰色市场和黑市设备。

“敌人遇到的不仅仅是问题——而是一场灾难，”别斯克列斯特诺夫说。“指挥系统已经崩溃，许多地区的进攻已经停止。”

乌克兰军方近日的简报也显示，多个战区的战斗强度有所降低，但部分战线的战斗仍在继续。

Widespread failures of Starlink terminals inside Russia’s armed forces have crippled battlefield command and sparked deadly incidents of friendly fire, according to Ukrainian partisans.

The Atesh partisan movement said Russian units in both eastern and southern Ukraine are struggling to communicate after losing access to Starlink, leaving commanders unable to control their troops.

Sources inside Russia’s 122nd Motorized Rifle Regiment near Kupyansk and the 1152nd Regiment in the Zaporizhzhia region say troop command has been “effectively paralyzed,” Atesh said.

With Starlink terminals largely offline, Russian communications officers are reportedly in disarray. Attempts to deploy backup communication channels are failing, while Russian electronic warfare systems are regularly jamming even their own radios.

“Without stable communications on the front line, chaos begins,” Atesh said. “The lack of coordination is already leading to heavy losses – and not only from enemy fire.”

One such incident reportedly occurred in the Zaporizhzhia region, where a complete breakdown in communications led to friendly fire. Russian units, unaware of each other’s positions, opened fire on their own forces, destroying an assault group of 12 soldiers, the partisans said.

“Russia’s dependence on civilian technology has turned against it,” Atesh said. “Once communications disappear, command collapses, and troops begin destroying themselves.”

The communications breakdown follows a recent decision by Elon Musk and SpaceX to disable Starlink terminals used by Russian forces in Ukraine, cutting off internet access along an estimated 1,000-kilometer (620-mile) stretch of the front line.

Ukrainian electronic warfare expert Serhiy “Flash” Beskrestnov said nearly all Russian frontline units reliant on Starlink have lost the ability to transmit secure data, leaving commanders unable to coordinate attacks.

Some Russian units, according to Russian milbloggers, have been forced to revert to paper maps and couriers carrying memory sticks.

The move came after Ukrainian officials flagged Russia’s growing use of Starlink-connected systems, including kamikaze drones used in attacks on civilian targets.

In response, SpaceX introduced a “whitelist” system, allowing only verified and authorized Starlink terminals to operate in Ukraine and effectively disabling grey and black-market devices.

“The enemy doesn’t just have a problem – it’s a disaster,” Beskrestnov said. “Command has collapsed, and assaults have stopped in many areas.”

Ukrainian military briefings in recent days have also reported reduced combat intensity in several sectors, though fighting continues along parts of the front.
