SpaceX imposes speed restrictions on Starlink terminals used by Ukrainian military, disrupting missions

SpaceX imposed speed restrictions on Starlink terminals used by the Ukrainian military, cutting connectivity when terminals exceed 100 mph (160 km/h) and disrupting several missions, per Ukrainian volunteer Serhiy Sternenko and a Zelenskiy advisor. The restriction applies to the military-grade StarShield package and has since been tightened, with connections now dropping at 60-70 km/h; on October 14, Ukraine's 7th Air Assault Corps recorded 10-20 second drops during UAV flights at 110-120 km/h.
