Starshield operations restored to speeds of more than 400 km/h, Ukraine's Defense Ministry says
Ukraine's Defense Ministry reported that Starshield, a military version of Starlink, has resumed operations at speeds exceeding 400 km/h after being limited to 161 km/h. This improvement is crucial for military operations, including drone coordination and logistics. Discussions between Ukrainian and U.S. officials aimed to resolve previous disruptions, with former President Trump reportedly urging SpaceX's Elon Musk to lift the speed caps. Despite these efforts, President Zelensky noted ongoing issues with Starlink, including delays in missile supplies. U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal has initiated an investigation into the matter, seeking clarity on the restrictions' origins.
