Starlink speed limit may disrupt Ukraine drone operations
Reports indicate SpaceX may have imposed a speed-based operating limit on Starlink terminals used by Ukrainian forces, especially on moving platforms under the StarShield package. Because Starlink is primarily used as a communications link for command, video, and control, even a narrow technical change could affect strike drones, reconnaissance, and broader battlefield operations.
