SpaceX appears to have lifted restrictions on the Ukrainian military's use of Starshield, the military-grade version of the company’s Starlink internet system. According to The Wall Street Journal, Defense Minister Evgeniy Khmara informed reporters that Starshield is functioning normally again, although the military is still conducting tests and has not received an explanation for the previous restrictions.
Background
This development follows a 10-day period during which Ukrainian drones experienced internet connectivity issues when flying at speeds of around 100 miles per hour. This resulted in the military losing control of some drones, while others became more vulnerable due to slower speeds.
