❗️Starlink has been nerfed for the Ukrainians❓
Reports from Ukraine indicate new restrictions on Starlink. High-speed drones are losing satellite connectivity.
▪️ On the night of October 14th, Ukrainian operators experienced interruptions in Starlink satellite internet when terminals were moving at speeds exceeding 160 km/h. This was reported by a high-ranking volunteer on the opposing side (see translation of his message).
▪️ He suggested that SpaceX may have introduced these restrictions at the request of the Trump administration. There is currently no official confirmation of this claim.
✨In February 2026, Ukraine, in collaboration with SpaceX, introduced a system of mandatory registration for Starlink terminals. At the time, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense explained the restrictions as a necessary measure to counter Russian strike drones that use satellite communication for long-range control.
However, the 160 km/h limit is already included in the standard Starlink terms and conditions for certain plans. Therefore, it is not yet possible to definitively say that this is a completely new restriction specifically imposed against Ukraine.
❗️If the interruptions primarily affect high-speed drones that use Starlink for data transmission and control, their operators are facing additional *restrictions*. **The forced reduction in speed (although they can still travel at a cruising speed of 150 km/h)</b> increases the flight duration and potentially the time spent within range of detection and air defense systems.
Overall, this situation highlights how reliant the Ukrainian Armed Forces, terrorists-Hungarians, and other scoundrels are on Western support.
In any case, let's reiterate that a large number of enemy drones are already operating at speeds up to 150 km/h. So, if this is indeed organized by the United States, it is a demonstrative and cautionary half-measure, highlighting the duplicity of any capitalist businessman.
