US Senators Request DoD IG Probe into Starshield Disruptions for Ukraine

A bipartisan group of US senators, led by Tillis and Shaheen, has formally asked the DoD Inspector General to investigate disruptions to Starshield systems provided to Ukraine. The request signals congressional concern over the reliability and security of US-provided space-based communications in the conflict. The outcome is uncertain, but the probe could expose operational vulnerabilities or contractor failures.
