RUSSIA’S NEW WEAPON: Putin REVEALS Russia’s Low Orbit Satellite Tool To Counter Ukraine Drones!

RUSSIA’S NEW WEAPON: Putin REVEALS Russia’s Low Orbit Satellite Tool To Counter Ukraine Drones! Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a double escalation on Russia Day — announcing during a meeting with military officials, as reported by Interfax news agency, that Russia is actively developing a satellite-based system specifically engineered to control combat drones, identifying the low-Earth orbit constellation operated by Bureau 1440 as the programme behind the capability and stating publicly that the structure is comparable to Starlink and may even surpass it in some respects — a direct and explicit technological response to the battlefield lessons of the Ukraine war, where satellite-enabled drone communications have proven operationally decisive, and where Russia has faced chronic vulnerability to Ukrainian electronic jamming of its ground-based drone control networks. In the same sitting, Russian news agencies reported Putin signed a formal decree setting the total size of the Russian military at 2,399,130 individuals — including 1,510,000 active service members — a massive force expansion that, combined with the satellite drone announcement, signals Moscow's unambiguous commitment to sustained, escalating military operations. Together the two announcements — space-based drone warfare and a 2.4-million-strong military decree — represent the most concentrated single-day escalation signal from the Kremlin since the Ukraine war entered its current phase. #putindronesatellite, #russiasatellitedrone, #bureau1440, #putinmilitary, #russiadrones, #putinrussiday, #russiavsstarlinkn, #russiadronespace, #putindecree, #russiaescalation, #russiamilitary2026, #putinukraine, #satellitedronecontrol, #russiawarmilitary, #putinbureau1440, #russiadronwar, #kremlinescalation, #russiaspace, #putinsatellite, #breakingnews In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: 🌐 Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world 📱 Instagram:   / timesnow.world   🐦 Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
