Starlink terminals in Ukraine restricted above 160 kph

Original: The operation of Starlink terminals in Ukraine was restricted above 160 kph

Starlink terminals operating in Ukraine have reportedly been restricted from functioning when moving faster than 160 kilometres per hour. The speed limit effectively prevents use of the satellite internet service in fast-moving vehicles such as jets and high-speed drones. Commenters are debating the implications for Ukrainian military operations, since Starlink connectivity has been central to drone coordination and battlefield communications throughout the war with Russia.

Why now: The speed restriction could significantly affect Ukrainian military use of Starlink for drones and mobile units.
