SpaceX has increased restrictions on the use of Starlink for the Ukrainian military
The Ukrainian military announced new restrictions of the Starlink satellite communication system. Волонтер Сергій Стерненко reported that now the connection begins to disappear at the speed of the drone 60-70 kilometers per hour. Sources LB in the Defense Forces confirmed the information.
Earlier, an adviser to the President Сергій Бескрестнов confirmed that at night 14 October restrictions worked at the speed of 100 miles per hour (about 160 km per hour). At the same time, the Ukrainian army did not receive a warning.
«Наразі обмеження стосується "військового пакету" послуг StarShield і встановлено на швидкість 100 миль на годину. Наші сили оборони не отримували попередження про таке обмеження, і це призвело до зриву низки місій», he said.
- Previously, SpaceX limited the use of Starlink for a series of long-range strikes on objects in Russia and the occupied territories. A number of operations were disrupted.
- The current restriction took place against the background of the aggravation of the White House’s rhetoric against Ukraine. In addition, the partners did not inform Ukraine about the launch of ballistics by the Russians. Речник Повітряних Force Юрій Ігнат reported that the partners did not warn today about the first wave, but warned about the next three. In the first wave, the rocket hit a nine-story house, killing at least two people and more 20 Injured.
