Starlink terminals in Ukraine restricted above 160 km/h

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

Starlink has limited the operation of its terminals in Ukraine to speeds below 160 km/h, effectively preventing their use on fast-moving vehicles such as drones and rapidly advancing military equipment. Ukrainian forces have widely used Starlink on the battlefield, and the restriction is drawing discussion about its impact on military operations and reliance on Elon Musk's satellite network.

Why now: The speed limit curbs a battlefield capability Ukrainian forces have relied on, raising questions about Starlink's role in the war.
