Ukrainian military personnel are once again registering significant disruptions in the operation of Starshields, stated Volodymyr Zelensky.
According to the president, for several days now a speed limit of 161 km/h has been applied to Starshield along the entire front line and in the occupied territories.
Ukrainian military personnel checked the situation and determined that it was not a matter of random mistakes but a systemic limitation. Because of this, Ukrainian interceptor assets cannot reach sufficient speed to catch up with the UAVs driven by Russian aircraft. There have already been hits as a result. Ukraine is trying to clarify the reasons for the restrictions with the American side.
On October 14, SpaceX also restricted the operation of Starshield terminals in Ukraine - the military's version of Starlink satellite communications - without warning. They were fully restored just 10 days later.
