Elon Musk’s Starlink Satellite Could Hijack Missiles While Flying

MOSCOW – SpaceX lauds Starlink as a next-generation satellite network capable of providing broadband internet access. The private space company has launched nearly 1,800 Starlink satellites to date.

They plan to fill the sky with a total of up to 30,000 satellites. Elon Musk expects his satellite internet service to have around 500,000 users by next year.

“SpaceX’s Starlink internet satellite can be used to change the trajectory of cruise missiles in mid-flight, or assist special forces and spy networks,” Roscosmos Director Dmitry Rogozin warned the public.

Speaking to Russia’s Channel One, Rogozin, who has long feuded with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, indicated the United States government had provided SpaceX with about $900 million dollars for Starlink, with total subsidies in the next budget estimated at around $20 billion.

“The question arises: Why does the US government need this? Because this kind of spacecraft not only distributes the internet, but can be a tool to control cruise missiles, recalibrate their flight tasks in mid-flight, control special forces, or network agents,” he explained.

Rogozin added, “Starlink can deliver the internet with purely political and, most likely, anti-Russian content, thereby threatening the security of Russian information.”
