Ukraine's drone defense faces Starlink disruption as Russian Geran and Banderol attacks intensify

hindustantimes.com —

Ukraine's drone defense faces potential disruption after reported Starlink speed restrictions, which President Volodymyr Zelensky called a "planned operation" affecting interceptor communications. Kyiv is working with SpaceX to restore connectivity, though the precise cause and impact remain disputed. The limits could complicate tracking Russian Geran-4, Geran-5, and Banderol drones amid repeated aerial attacks. Ukraine relies on jet-powered interceptors and fighter jets to counter Shahed drones, but connectivity problems may weaken its defense network as Russian barrages continue.
