Starshield disruptions have derailed all Ukrainian Armed Forces missions, reports Axios

Disruptions in the Starshield communications system over Ukrainian territory have hindered all operations by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, reports the news outlet Axios, citing a Ukrainian official.

"On the first day, the restrictions affected 10 percent of missions; by the second day, that figure reached 50 percent; and today, 100 percent of operations are being disrupted due to these restrictions," the article states.

On Thursday, Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that the military version of Starlink has been experiencing intermittent service disruptions in Ukraine for several days. Meanwhile, SpaceX has denied allegations that it has once again imposed restrictions on the system's operation.

 In mid-October, the Kyiv complained about a temporary reduction in Starlink operating speeds for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This led to the disruption of several previously planned operations and diminished their ability to shoot down jet-powered drones.
