Much, much more on Strelkov, and Simplicius the Thin doesn't think he and Prigozhin had a causational relationship for either the march by Prigozhin or Strelkov relating to Prigozhin or vice-versa. There seem to be slurs going one way from Prigozhin to Strelkov. Strelkov is known to have run from Slavyansk (at least known to Simplicious) as opposed to Wagner's successes. For one thing, Prigozhin never named Putin as being a big problem whereas Strelkov did.
Of interest re Prigozhin:
"And interestingly, if you’ll recall, Prigozhin repeatedly stated that Wagner will be back to fight on August 5th. Given that we now do have confirmation of Wagner being in Belarus, with new satellite photos apparently showing the military camps filling up, this leads one to conclude that a potential Wagner northern front could still be in play." Photo in the Substack of what looks like a very big camp already.
Simplicius' reaction to Strelkov:
"Am I personally happy to see Strelkov arrested? To be honest, I’m agnostic on Strelkov. I neither particularly like nor dislike him. I respect what he did long ago and consider him to be a sort of misguided patriot who has slowly sunk into obscurity and depravity—the two quite possibly being linked, as it did seem that the malice of his attacks rose in inverse proportion to the ‘dimming of his star’, and gradual decline of his public relevance."
Strelkov's Vatic Fantasy Fulfilled as He's Taken Into Custody
One last item in the Substack. Boy, is space going to be crowded in coming years (depending on how soon everything goes into overdrive disaster), Russian version of Starlink coming down the pike.
"
Russian Starlink analog is developing.
Three domestic low-orbit communications satellites launched from the Vostochny cosmodrome, which were developed by the Russian company Bureau 1440, broadcasted the first Internet connection.
Now the data transfer rate to the device is 12 Mbps, and the delay is 41 milliseconds. The next stage is serial and mass production of domestic devices, as well as an increase in the data transfer rate to more than 100 Mbps.
The goal of the project is to create a commercial satellite broadband Internet access service that will operate in low orbits, at high speed and with minimal delays. It will begin its work in 2027.
From 2025, it is planned to launch 10-12 rockets per year into orbit, about 15 satellites are placed in one rocket. In total, by 2035 more than 900 low-orbit domestic satellites will be created and launched into orbit. They will provide high-speed satellite Internet to residents of all of Russia. The plans are to provide broadband access services using Russian spacecraft in 75 countries around the world."
