_Used to_ have helped a lot with starlink* Starlink has been disabled on the frontline for now a few months. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/spacex-curbed-ukraines-use-starlink-internet-drones-company-president-2023-02-09/ https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/spacex-cu... Basically, Starlink is now useful just for the residents living in areas where the infrastructure has been destroyed, but it's not helping anymore the Ukrainians to win the war.

That isn't actually true. Ukraine's entire battle management system (Delta) runs on Starlink. The issue is specifically where Ukraine used the system to control long range aerial drones which were mostly old Tupolev models and suicide drones. That has been an ongoing issue that Ukraine obviously hasn't wanted to publicize.

  I'd be glad to be wrong, but that's not what I've been reading. Do you have some links to share which confirms that Starlink is still used on the frontlines?
