The Director General of the Russian Cosmos Space Corporation, Dmitry Rogozin, affirmed that the launch of the Starlink satellites by the United States of America is an aggressive policy to spread its strategic interests under the guise of providing fast internet to remote regions of the world.

Rogozin said in an interview he gave today to the television program "Personal Communications" that the launch of large quantities of Starlink satellites into Earth orbit is a smart, aggressive and high-tech policy practiced by the United States to spread its strategic interests under the guise of providing fast internet to remote regions of the world, "referring to That the Pentagon uses a satellite network to provide its special forces with permanent communications anywhere in the world.

Rogozin added that the announcement of the American Elon Musk, director of the "SpaceX" company for the satellite industry, that he wants to ensure the fast Internet for about 4 percent of the regions of the world that are not covered by the land Internet "is nothing but nonsense."

On June 4, the American company SpaceX announced the launch of the Falcon 9 transport missile from Cape Canaveral Space Airport in Florida with a group of Starlink satellites on board.

It is noteworthy that Elon Musk announced in January 2015 that his company wanted to launch 12,000 small-sized communication satellites into Earth orbit to operate at different frequencies, and then announced in 2019 that this number will increase to 30,000 satellites.
