Ukrainian Officials Report Starshield Defenses Throttled Again
Ukrainian officials have raised questions with the U.S. government and with SpaceX about interruptions to the military-grade satellite internet service.
Ukrainian forces are experiencing new limitations on their Starshield satellite internet service, specifically speed restrictions on devices moving over 100 mph. President Zelenskyy stated this problem directly impacts their ability to intercept Russian ‘shahed’ drones originating from Russian-controlled areas. The restriction prevents Ukrainian forces from catching up to the drones in time.

- Devices moving faster than 100 mph are reportedly restricted.
- This restriction hinders the interception of Russian attack drones, specifically ‘shahed’ drones.
