Ukrainian arms maker Fire Point says its systems work without Starlink

Original: Ukrainian arms manufacturer Fire Point has overcome Starlink restrictions

Ukrainian defence manufacturer Fire Point says its weapons systems can now complete missions independently of Starlink, overcoming restrictions on the satellite network. The company, known for its long-range Flamingo missile and drone production, developed alternatives so operations are no longer dependent on Elon Musk's connectivity service, a concern for Ukraine given past disruptions to battlefield access.

Why now: Reports that Ukrainian weapons no longer rely on Starlink matter because it reduces dependence on a service controlled by Elon Musk, which has been subject to restrictions and political tension.
