SpaceX, by limiting the speed of Starlink terminals, is effectively depriving Ukraine of the ability to defend itself against the Iranian-made Shahed drones.
This was reported by Serhiy “Flash” Beskrestnov, a presidential advisor on a temporary basis.
“Everyone is writing that Starlink restrictions affected long-range missions and frontline logistics, but there is another major problem for us: Starlink is used in the most effective current solution (interceptors) to protect our sky from Shahed drones. Essentially, by their actions, partners are depriving us of one of the few chances to defend the country from Shahed drones,” Beskrestnov noted.
Beskrestnov stated that at night SpaceX imposed speed limits on Starlink terminals in motion, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not receive warnings.
A source in the Ministry of Defense also reported that the nighttime Starlink speed restrictions complicated the operation of unmanned systems, logistics, and mid-range strikes of the Defense Forces.
