How Iran and China Crippled Starlink — And Why Russia Rushed Zorky Into Orbit

Описание: This Isn’t Just a Space Story. It’s a Geopolitical System Breakdown.

You’re not about to watch satellite internet fail because of random interference.

You’re about to watch it happen because state actors — Iran, Russia, and China — are rewriting the rules of digital dominance, communications infrastructure, and strategic control in space and on Earth.

Right now, the much‑touted “unstoppable” Starlink network is facing massive disruption on the ground and strategic competition in orbit. Not slowly. Structurally.

In this video, Money & Empires breaks down how Iran, with support from Russian and likely Chinese electronic warfare techniques, managed to cripple Starlink connectivity during a nationwide blackout, and how Russia’s accelerated push to launch Zorky — a domestic alternative network — signals a multipolar communications battle.

This isn’t speculation.
It’s electronic warfare mechanics, satellite deployment strategy, and historical precedent.

In this breakdown, you’ll learn:

How Iran used advanced jamming and GPS spoofing to degrade Starlink connections by as much as 80% during its blackout and protest crackdown — a system likely sourced from Russian/Chinese expertise.

Why satellite internet now matters as much for control of information as it does for connectivity.

How the failure of Starlink in contested environments exposes its reliance on GPS and susceptibility to coordinated interference.

Why Russia is rushing production of Zorky satellites — a planned constellation aimed at rivaling Starlink’s dominance and giving Moscow sovereign control over space‑based communications.

How this move fits into a broader strategy where BRICS powers seek alternatives to U.S.‑led infrastructure dominance.

What it means for future conflicts where space and information are as important as land and sea

This video explains how space, communications, and modern warfare intersect, not how press releases describe them.

It’s not about fear.
It’s about understanding mechanics before momentum reshapes the digital battlefield.

Because when communications break, narratives don’t matter.
Only control does.
