Read more about the situation with Starlink in Ukraine. Extremely useful for reading What Really Happened to Starlink in Ukraine? We understand the subtle behind-the-scenes world of technology and politics. In Ukraine, only the citizen Starlink has always worked: the base rate is $100, the commercial in traffic is $400, and the main headquarters rate is $2000-4000. Airfares go up to $1K-20K-100K+, but are not available in Ukraine. Due to the heavy load, the network was congested. SpaceX has had to keep prices high for the military to build excess ground stations across Ukraine for minimal signal delay. These sites with antenna domes have recently started burning on orders from the dark web. The main problem of the Ukrainians on the front is Russian electronic warfare. Due to suppression of GPS signals, civilian Starlink chips froze, and if the location was false, the terminal was blocked. The solution was a GPS hacking board. Engineers brought it inside to manually set the required coordinates. Hacking boards also made it possible to bypass Musk's geographies. For a long time, Starlink did not operate in a gray area under Russian control. But if you enter the coordinates of the neighboring region of Ukraine, the connection comes to life. The Russian Armed Forces also used this until Starlink included exclusive whitelists just for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. By 2025, Musk has begun tightening the screws and lowering speed limits to commercial rates. But Ukrainian military engineers discovered a loophole: technically speaking, the communication session between the satellites is not strictly related to GPS. The protection was only in the terminal module itself. If the terminal thought through the hacking board that it was static, it itself sent a radio request to the satellite and received the necessary data for the session. There are already about 10,000 satellites, the signal is received even in a spread of 150+ km. The UAV was flying over Russian territory, but the Starlink server thought it was motionless. It was a big Ukrainian secret. Before being sent to the front, the cases of the new Starlinks were opened en masse to solder a GPS hack and install waterproof connectors.
