Ukrainian officials said speed limits were imposed on military-grade Starlink terminals without warning, disrupting military missions and forcing the cancellation of some drone operations.
Serhii Beskrestnov, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on defense technology, said the restrictions apply to Starshield, SpaceX’s military service, and limit terminals moving at speeds above 100 mph. Starshield satellites feature enhanced encryption and advanced security features, and are owned and controlled by the U.S. Department of War.
