Elon Musk's Starlink Just Disrupted Ukraine's Defenses

Описание: Elon Musk's SpaceX suddenly restricted Ukraine's access to Starshield, the military version of Starlink, disrupting Ukrainian drone operations without warning.

This happened as Donald Trump was pressuring Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil infrastructure, even as Russia continued striking Ukrainian cities.

Ukraine has reported some restoration of service, but questions remain about who authorized the restrictions and why. And this isn't the first time Musk's control over Starlink has created serious problems for Ukraine's military.

I examine what happened, the Pentagon contract behind the service, Musk's history with Ukraine, and the danger of American allies depending on military technology controlled by people they have little reason to trust.
