‼ Europe is trying to replace Starlink after the restrictions hit Ukrainian drones -. Axios European satellite companies have stepped up development of their own military communications systems, seeking to reduce their dependence on Elon Musk's technology. According to Axios, the Finnish ICEYE and Nokia are working with Ukraine on an independent satellite communication system. The first launches are planned for 2028. The French company Eutelsat, which already provides services in Ukraine, also intends to increase competition with Starlink. The search for alternatives was accelerated by restrictions on American satellite communications, which reportedly created problems with the use of Ukrainian drones. Caravans: |.
