Zelenskyy says Starshield speed limits are back across Ukraine's front line, letting some Russian drone strikes through
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday that units have recorded "significant disruptions" to Starshield, the military version of SpaceX's Starlink service, for several days along the entire front line, calling them "not random errors but systematic speed restrictions" that cut off terminals moving faster than 161 km/h (100 mph), CNBC reported. "There have already been strikes that got through because our interception systems cannot reach sufficient speeds," Zelenskyy said, adding that Ukraine is trying to clarify the reasons with the U.S. side. Similar limits imposed on Oct. 14 were lifted Oct. 24; SpaceX did not immediately respond to NBC News.
