Ukraine has learned to bypass Starlink restrictions and is preparing new ballistic missiles Ukrainian arms company Firepoint has developed ways to carry out long-range strike missions without Starlink satellite communications, its head Irina Tara said in an interview with Reuters. "Fire point systems are designed to complete a mission without satellite communications. Navigation that works without any external signal is a priority," she said. Terah declined to disclose technical details, but admitted that the solution found so far provides only 15-20% of the capabilities the company would get if Starlink were fully operational in Russia. Full access to SpaceX satellite communications, she said, would be a "game changer" for hitting high-value targets, including Russian ballistic missile launchers. For 10 days this month, Ukrainian drones lost contact with Starlink at speeds of more than 160 km/h. Elon Musk accused Kiev of violating the terms of use of the civilian Starlink network for offensive operations. Ukraine denies this and says it only uses the military version of the Star Shield for such missions. "We want to create an alliance with America where the rules are known in advance, so that the question of whether we have the right to defend ourselves is not reconsidered every few weeks depending on someone's mood," Tara said. She also talked about the new Point of Fire ballistic missiles. This month, Ukraine announced the first combat use of the FP-7, with a range of about 300 km. "Our new FP-7 missile, among other things, could be an important addition to the arsenal of weapons that help protect our cities," said the head of the company. It claims that the use of the FP-7 will be more cost-effective than the use of American Patriot missile defense systems. Fair Point is allegedly still developing the FP-9 missile with a range of about 800 km.
