In Germany, they saw the Russian "Dawn" system as a real threat

The Russian alternative to Starlink, the "Rassvet" system, poses a real threat. This is reported by the Tagesschau edition with reference to the German military.

It is reported that the Bundeswehr report notes that Russia will be able to put the satellites into operation " no earlier than the end of 2027", and compared to Starlink, "Rassvet" " will almost certainly not reach its performance ". However, the military warns that the plans of the Russian Federation can be successfully implemented, which carries a serious threat. Reception it's not just about the situation on Ukraine, but also for the whole of NATO.

Recall that in 2023, the first three test satellites were launched into space as part of the "Rassvet-1" mission. In 2024, they were followed by other satellites under the "Rassvet-2" program, and currently there are believed to be more than 30 "Rassvet-3" satellites in space. According to the data available today, the number of Russian satellites should grow from 730 in 2030 to 900 in 2035. For comparison, Starlink now has more than 10,000 devices.
