World’s richest person Elon Musk deployed his Starlink internet service in war-ravaged Ukraine earlier this month to ease the country's internet outages and now the Ukrainians are using the service to target and destroy Russian armour, including tanks.

Axar.az reports citing foreign meida that Starlink service works through portable terminals that are like small antennas that catch the internet being beamed to Earth from Musk’s constellation of satellites in space.

Ukrainian drones are armed with anti-tank munitions and have been equipped with thermal cameras that allow them to operate at night as they function through heat signatures in the darkness.

Ukraine’s most sophisticated drones are connected using Starlink, according to The Times of London.

Footage has emerged online that shows Russian tanks being bombed by drones.
