Ukraine: Zelenskyy, further problems with Starshield, deliberate restrictions
“Attacks have already been carried out. We are trying to clarify the situation with the US”
(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - “For several days now, our units have been experiencing significant disruptions to the operation of Starshield on Ukrainian territory, along the entire front line and in the temporarily occupied areas. Specifically, systematic restrictions are being imposed on Starshield’s speed, limiting it to 161 kilometres per hour (100 miles per hour)”. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote this on X, referring to the American system and specifying that “these are not random errors, but deliberate and systematic speed restrictions”.
“For us,” he added, “this means, first and foremost, that we face considerable difficulty in intercepting Russian jet-powered drones. Unfortunately, there have already been successful attacks precisely because our interception systems are unable to reach a sufficient speed to intervene in time. In fact, this is helping the Russians to kill more Ukrainians and to carry out more precise attacks against Ukraine. We are trying to clarify all aspects of the matter with the American side.”
