SpaceX restrictions slow Ukrainian drones using Starlink

Original: Ukrainian drones lose some speed after SpaceX imposes sudden restrictions on use of Starlink

Ukraine's military drones have lost speed after SpaceX imposed sudden restrictions on the use of its Starlink satellite internet system, news agencies report. Starlink connectivity has been widely used to help Ukrainian drones operate on the battlefield, and the new limits have reduced their effectiveness. The move has drawn attention to how dependent Ukrainian operations have become on SpaceX's technology and to questions about private companies' control over wartime capabilities.

Why now: A major private company's wartime policy change is affecting battlefield operations, raising concerns about dependence on Starlink.
