Ukraine Has Finally Had Starlink Restricted.
Ukraine has finally had Starlink restricted.
This is being reported at various levels—from the 7th Air Assault Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to Serhiy Sternenko.
The 7th Air Assault Corps writes about restrictions on the Starshield package—the military package that previously had no data transmission limits. The connection begins to drop out when moving at 110–120 km/h. Sternenko writes that the connection begins to drop out at just 60–70 km/h.
This is particularly dangerous for Middle Strike missions, when the craft need to accelerate to high speed during launch. Losing the connection makes it impossible to launch UAVs under such conditions or continue using them.
The 7th Air Assault Corps writes that the consequences are already being felt in practice. Since the start of the day, one unmanned systems unit operating under the corps in the Huliaipole sector has had to cancel some missions.

Ukraine has never had to fight with Starlink restrictions before. Trump and Musk, Putin's damn helpers...
The Connection Now Has a Speed Limit
The connection drops at high speed, and some missions have already been canceled.
The military package works best while parked.
