Ukraine rethinks Starlink reliance after speed throttling affects drones

A Ukrainian weapons maker says it is reconsidering reliance on Starlink/Starshield after reported speed-based throttling (around 130–161 km/h) disrupts control links for fast-moving systems. The issue matters because it impacts UAV/USV strike missions and interceptor drones used to down Shahed-type one-way attack drones, pushing Ukraine toward alternative comms architectures or tactics less dependent on Starlink.
