Ukraine's Ministry of Defense has recorded the restoration of Starlink and Starshield speed, with connections remaining stable at speeds over 400 km/h. This development comes after disruptions to the services, which had affected drones traveling above 100 mph, causing them to lose connection.
Ukrainian officials had previously accused SpaceX of undermining the country's defense, highlighting the importance of these services for the country's military operations. The lifting of restrictions is expected to improve the effectiveness of Ukraine's military systems, particularly in countering Russian attacks.
With the restoration of service, Ukraine's Ministry of Defense will continue to monitor Starlink and Starshield operations to ensure their stability and reliability. The improvement in the Starshield satellite network's speed is also seen as a positive development, following over a week of disruption to the service.
