Russian propagandists began to spread the delusional theory through their social networks.

They claim that a swarm of Starlink satellites belonging to Musk’s company SpaceX was spotted in the sky over the town of Reutov outside Moscow a few hours before the attack by apparently Ukrainian drones.

“Bright dots lined up in a single line were last seen in the sky in several regions on May 16-17,” the pro-Kremlin Mash Telegram messenger reported.

“A kamikaze drone then fell on the 380th kilometer of the Moscow Big Ring Road near the village of Tarutino.”

Of course, with more than 3,900 Starlink satellites in orbit and no special equipment needed to see them, the conspiracy theorists could have spotted Musk’s “swarm of Starlink satellites” any night during the previous 15 months of war that Moscow wasn’t attacked by drones.
