Ukraine rejects Elon Musk's comments regarding the use of the civilian Starlink system in suicide drones. Ukrainian authorities believe that after the restrictions (whitelist) were imposed in February 2026 to prevent the Russian military from using Starlink, all Starlink devices in Ukraine were connected to the StarShield military system. According to this argument, in 2026, Ukrainian drones will technically not be able to use civilian Starlink devices for flight control.
