's Starlink satellite system is giving Ukrainian forces the edge in winning the drone war as the nation fights back with technology to track down invading Russians.
Aerorozvidka (Aerial Reconnaissance) is being used to attack Russian drones and target Vladmir Putin's army of tanks and track down their positions in the conflict, which has been ongoing since February 24, according to . 
Drones used in the field are able to use the newly available Starlink to keep connected and provide intelligence as internet and power outages plague Ukraine.

The so-far successful implementation of the satellites into the defense of the war-torn nation makes good on a promise outspoken mogul Musk - who challenged Vladimir Putin to a fist fight for turkey immigration lawyer the future of Ukraine earlier this week - made to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky earlier in the month, that SpaceX will send more Starlink satellite stations to provide internet to some of the country's stricken cities.
The president of the embattled country took to Twitter to thank Musk, 50, for the support, and invited the tech mogul to visit Ukraine once the war is over.
'Talked to @elonmusk.

I'm grateful to him for supporting Ukraine with words and deeds. Next week we will receive another batch of Starlink systems for destroyed cities,' Zelensky wrote at the time.
Meanwhile, more Musk satellites are still coming.
Early Saturday morning, a further 53 Starlink internet satellites were launched into space by rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, further bolstering the burgeoning surveillance network.
SpaceX said Saturday that the 230-foot rocket, dubbed the Falcon 9, launched the satellites into low orbit without a hitch.
The Ukrainians are also enlisting the help of PD-1 unmanned aerial vehicles fitted with infrared sensors.

With a wingspan of 10ft, the vehicles are being used to collect vital information on the movements of Russian troops.  
The Ukrainian drone unit uses a 'Delta' system, which has been perfected in recent years with the help of Western advisers. 
It can be accessed by basic laptops, and has a 'situational awareness' software installed which creates an interactive map using images from drones, satellites, human intelligence and sensors to build a physical picture to help in tracking the enemy. 
The system, which is said to be on par with similar NATO technology, is believed to have been tested in the Sea Breeze military exercise held in the Black Sea in 2021, which involved the USA, Ukraine and 30 other countries.  
The Ukrainian's have perfected the system with the help of Western countries, who have provided radio communications superior to Soviet-era technology.

The US is said to have spent millions of dollars on the system to protect against Russian hacking.
