Slow Starshield system in Ukraine

156

The White House gives an order. The USA military slows down the service Starshield. The Ukraine military uses this service for drones. Now the parts in fast drones work badly. They only work up to 160 kilometers per hour. This stops attacks on Russian troops.

Experts think about a reason for the slow speed. President Donald Trump wants no attacks on Russian refineries. He worries about high prices for energy. A person from the government says: The president does not give this order. No person knows the true maker of the choice. The system Starshield belongs to the firm SpaceX.

Elon Musk is the boss of SpaceX. He says: The USA government rules Starshield. Because of this, the military or the president decides the speed. Also in Germany people speak out with anger. Foreign minister Johann Wadephul asks for clear facts. Germany pays for a part of the tech for Ukraine. He wants that the tech works fully.
