**Russia Uses Starlink-Guided Drones, Zelenskyy Cites Key Casualty Threshold**
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that inflicting 50,000 Russian casualties per month would break Moscow's ability to continue the war. He called this loss rate a threshold that Russia cannot replenish.
The assessment comes amid reports of a significant new threat. Ukrainian forces confirm that Russia is now deploying advanced "Shahed" attack drones guided by SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet.
These drones are reportedly resistant to Ukrainian electronic jamming systems. Starlink provides a secure data link, making the drones more accurate and harder to stop.
The development marks a serious escalation in Russian tactics. It directly uses Western commercial technology against the Ukrainian military it was originally intended to aid.
