UPDATE | 🇺🇦 Ukraine is pushing back against Elon Musk's claim that its military violated Starlink's terms by using the civilian satellite service for offensive drone strikes.
Serhii Beskrestnov, a defense technology adviser to Zelensky, says commercial Starlink terminals have been subject to speed and geographic restrictions since February, making the medium- and long-range strikes Musk describes technically impossible.
Ukrainian drone supplier Serhii Sternenko also says missions requiring satellite connectivity relied on Starshield, not civilian Starlink.
Musk has acknowledged that SpaceX restricted Starlink service but maintains that the US government controls Starshield.
