Starlink, a crucial satellite internet service for Ukrainian military operations, has faced recent restrictions, causing disruptions in drone missions and communication. Speeds above 60-160 km/h now trigger connection drops, hindering drone control and logistical operations. The restrictions come after Ukrainian President Zelensky's demand for strengthened US response to Russian actions. Ukrainian forces are investigating the cause and seeking clarifications from the US and SpaceX. Starlink's military variant, Starshield, is also affected. The restrictions have led to mission cancellations, drone paralysis, and operational delays. Ukrainian officials and military sources confirm these issues, which threaten medium-range attacks and drone defense against Russian drones.
