Musk denies Starlink operational in India after Army raid on Manipur insurgents finds equipment
Wednesday, 18 December 2024 Elon Musk's Starlink found itself in a controversy after Indian Army discovered its equipment during a raid on insurgents in Manipur. Musk denied Starlink's operational status in India, stating satellite beams are deactivated. The incident raises concerns as Starlink's license application, facing security scrutiny, is pending with the Indian government.
Musk clashed with Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski in a heated online exchange over Starlink’s role in Ukraine. Musk, who has donated over 40,000 Starlink terminals to Ukraine since 2022, dismissed Sikorski’s claims that Poland funds the service at $50 million per year, calling him a “small man.”
Musk warned that Ukraine’s frontline would collapse without Starlink, calling it “the backbone of the Ukrainian army.” U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended Musk, arguing that without Starlink, Ukraine would have already lost the war.

Elon Musk has made a shocking statement, claiming that Ukraine’s entire front line would collapse without Starlink, highlighting its critical role in the war. He also expressed frustration over the ongoing conflict, calling it a "meat grinder" and warning that Ukraine will inevitably lose if the fighting continues. Meanwhile, reports suggest that the US might use Starlink access as a bargaining chip in negotiations over Ukraine’s critical mineral resources

The US has warned Ukraine that Starlink services could be shut down if Kyiv refuses a critical minerals deal. During a meeting with Trump’s envoy, Zelensky was reportedly pressured to give the US 50% ownership of Ukraine’s mineral wealth, which he rejected. Losing Starlink would be a major setback for Ukrainian forces. Trump and Musk have criticized Zelensky, calling him a dictator. Amid growing tensions, Trump is pushing for renewed talks with Russia while Ukraine seeks further military aid.

India has approved its biggest-ever defense deal, worth $7.3 billion, to procure 156 Light Combat Helicopters (LCH) for the Indian Army and Air Force. These helicopters, developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), are equipped to operate in extreme conditions, making them ideal for deployment in sensitive areas like the Siachen glacier and Eastern Ladakh. With advanced features such as the ability to take off and land at altitudes of 5,000 meters, these helicopters will significantly enhance India's military capabilities in the face of regional threats, particularly from China and Pakistan.
