Starlink coverage bleeds ~30 km into Russian territory near Anapa, enabling drone connectivity on Russian soil

Published 24 August 2026

A Russian UAV developer notes that Starlink satellite coverage extends roughly 30 km inside Russian territory near Anapa due to the irregular Black Sea coastline — a boundary Starlink reportedly never defined precisely. The analyst links the overspill to Ukrainian drone strikes in the Vitazevo–Anapa area on 23 August, suggesting the unintended coverage is being exploited to maintain guidance-link connectivity for Ukrainian UAVs operating inside Russian airspace.
