Starlink Speed Limits Hit Ukraine Drone Operations

On October 14, Starlink connections in Ukraine were restricted when users moved faster than 160 km/h, an adviser to Ukraine's president said, and drone missions, logistics and reconnaissance on the front lines became difficult. Service was restored in the early hours of October 15. Elon Musk said the military Starshield system is owned by the U.S. government and restrictions are decided by the U.S. military and the President.
