Starlink Speed Limits Hamper Ukrainian Drone Operations, Zelensky Warns

Ukrainian President Zelensky reports that speed restrictions on Starlink and Starshield satellite internet are impeding Ukrainian drone attacks and logistics, altering battlefield dynamics. The technical limitations, likely imposed by the service provider, are constraining real-time control and coordination of drones, potentially reducing their effectiveness against Russian forces. This marks a notable dependency on private satellite infrastructure for military operations, with implications for Ukraine's combat capabilities and the broader conflict.
