Connectivity for Starlink systems used by the Ukrainian military have “been restored and remains operational,” a source in the Defense Ministry told the Kyiv Independent on Oct. 15.

SpaceX, the owner of Starlink, implemented speed restrictions on Oct. 14 without warning, limiting speed to 100 miles per hour (160 kilometers per hour). The unexpected restriction disrupted active military operations, including the use of mid-range strike and interceptor drones.

“As of now, (Starlink military package) Starshield service while on the move has been restored and remains operational. We have confirmed this through reports from our units,” the source said.

“The Defense Ministry is also continuing its engagement to clarify all the reasons and circumstances surrounding yesterday’s restrictions.”

    We’re also hitting the point where a lot of the first gen sats are entering their planned obsolescence window.
