    I think starlink is yet another musk project that only exists because of federal funds, the air force was testing it for total battlefield awareness in Africa before or right as the first beta program started.

    It was just never intended to be used against a peer adversary, only nations without the ability to intercept or jam satellites.

          Sure, but why are Ukraine officials hyping up this thing if it isn't useful? No one seems to want to pay for it so there are probably better way to get a cut of DoD money.
