That seems like a significant security risk
Probably not for the reason you think.
Like, it wouldn't be patched into anything official
But it means Musk knew where that ship was 24/7, and I'm pretty sure that's why Ukraine's military stopped using it. Musk tipped off Putin to troop movements.
It wouldn't be... Until it is.
Yeah with how many leaks come from war thunder players... lol
We need to insert egregiously wrong Russian hardware into War Thunder so the real specs will be leaked
Next up: somebody installs unauthorized Starlink on warship so they can play War Thunder on deployment.
I'm not convinced that's not exactly what this particular starlink device was for
