Enormous amount of starlink terminals with computers with AFU coordination software was seized since Musk began send terminals to Ukraine. They are used for monitoring enemy plans and movements through this AFU system and to control quality of Starlink jamming in moments of advances or sorties. Also, they are fine for running whatever p2p networks like i2p or other to establish non-critical communications between different Russian groups.
Using enemy equipment (if suitable) is not something unusual at all. At least in Russian military concepts.
Since Musk is unable to detect which terminals actually belong to Russians now, the options is either to shut down Starlink over Ukraine, either allow us to use it. :) Whatever decision Musk or his handlers will choose, both are perfectly fine for us and do damage to AFU.
Strange, that this thing about Starlink popped up only now. Starlink terminals used by us since the first days they appeared on the frontline and was seized by Russian troops. It is almost two-years old story. May be you could remember a more than a year old story about hacking into AFU field coordination system. Some MSM even then mentioned it as one of reasons of "great Ukrainian counter-offensive" failure. That's about starlink terminals in our hands too - this AFU system includes starlink terminal and AFAIK locked to the IPs of AFU command and starlink terminals.
So, why now? Revenge of neocons toward Musk for providing platform for Carlson-Putin interview?
Using captured enemy equipment against them has been done since we first swung a stick at one another. Captured ships in the days of sail, captured tanks and artillery pieces in ww2, if it can be used to your benefit in combat you’ll do it.
If you use it to spread disinfo you could easily do your cops radio scenario and assist your friends. Not everything is cut and dry in war, disinfo can be deadlier than a shell with your name on it.

If you don’t control the hardware, your information is someone elses. Totally agree. We wont hear exactly how its being used truthfully anyways.
