SpaceX Restricts Starshield Services in Ukraine
SpaceX restricts Starshield services in Ukraine, causing drones to lose connections during missions.
Ukrainian officials and expert Dmitri Alperovitch reported on Friday that SpaceX continues to throttle Starshield services in Ukraine. Since October 14, speed limits have caused drones traveling over 100 mph to lose connections, which Alperovitch says limits strikes on Russian logistics. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed restrictions remain despite claims from Donald Trump that service was restored.
