As of October 14, 2026, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense announced the restoration of Starlink terminals with a speed limit of up to 160 km/h. This has become possible due to the improvement in connection quality observed at this speed.
Current Restrictions and Connection Quality
While the official speed limit is set at 161 km/h, actual performance has been lower. However, according to the Ministry of Defense, the quality of the connection at speeds up to 160 km/h has improved. This is a significant step towards ensuring stable communication in conditions where drones, such as strike drones and interceptor drones, can be used again.
Communication with Partners
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense continues active communication with international partners to ensure stable operational conditions for the Starlink service. This is crucial for supporting military operations and maintaining communication in critical situations.
