As of the morning of October 24, 2026, the Starlink and Starshield systems in Ukraine have resumed operations at speeds exceeding 161 km/h. This improvement is attributed to the efforts of the military and specialists from the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, who continue testing to determine the limits of communication capabilities.
Speed Testing
Experts are actively engaged in verifying the system's capabilities by testing it at higher speeds. The aim of these tests is to ascertain whether there are upper speed limits for Starlink and Starshield, as well as to evaluate the extent to which communication has fully restored after previous issues.
The Importance of Communication Restoration
The restoration of Starlink and Starshield services is a crucial step in ensuring reliable communication in Ukraine, especially in the context of military operations. Satellite communication systems provide connectivity in areas where traditional communication methods may be unavailable or unreliable.
