SpaceX Starshield speed limit disrupted Ukrainian counter-drone interceptors

SpaceX's Starshield, the version of Starlink used by Ukraine's military, was recently throttled to block terminals moving above certain speeds from connecting. As a result, Ukrainian interceptors designed to counter Russian explosive-laden drones stopped functioning at high speeds, making it easier for Russia to strike the country's energy infrastructure. According to reports, the attacks caused two deaths and at least 17 injuries. The Ukrainian military said it received no advance warning of the restriction. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy characterized the move as a direct message from the United States amid rising tensions.
