Ukrainian forces are adapting operational strategies following new restrictions on SpaceX's Starshield satellite system while targeting Russian counter-space assets.

Ukrainian forces are adapting their operational tactics following renewed restrictions on Starshield, the military-grade satellite communication service provided by SpaceX. Starshield has been pivotal in managing frontline command centers and guiding long-range drone strikes against moving Russian logistics vehicles, supply routes, and air defense systems.

Despite the operational setbacks, leadership within Ukraine's Air Assault Forces stated that even a complete shutdown of satellite internet services would not result in the collapse of frontline positions. Simultaneously, Ukrainian forces have targeted Russian counter-space capabilities, striking a Russian Starlink jamming system in occupied Donetsk and damaging production workshops at the Progress rocket plant in Samara, which manufactures components for Russia's Rassvet satellite network.
