Oleg Kutkov 🇺🇦(@olegkutkov):Testing my Starlink V5 magnetic mount. I don't fully trust these magnets, especially on the uneven surface of the air conditioning unit, so I'll secure the mount with a steel safety cable as an extra precaution. Surrounding buildings partially obstruct the view of the sky, and the weather is wet and foggy today. Despite these less-than-ideal conditions, the V5 is performing very well. This will serve as my backup internet connection in case the ground-based infrastructure is damaged or destroyed.
