"The shutdown of Starlink terminals did not affect the command and control system for troops, units, and formations in the special military operation zone," Krivoruchko told the "60 Minutes" program on the Rossiya 1 broadcaster.
Starlink terminals have been offline for two weeks, but this has not affected the effectiveness of the unmanned systems forces, Krivoruchko said.
The command and communication systems of the Russian forces ensure stable exchange of information via secure channels, he stressed.
