sort of odd they’re getting their internet though a civilian source though - there’s got to be better, more secure options.
There are certainly more secure options but better is unlikely given how revolutionary starlink is.
there’s nothing revolutionary about satellite internet
The revolutionary aspect is the quantity of the satellites and the affordability of access due to reduction in deployment costs.
I don’t think Ukraine has the resources to create, deploy, and operate its own satellite Internet network.
Surely the US has a satellite network they clould be making use off? Maybe there’s political reasons why they cant be given access.
The US does have its own satellite network, but it’s unlikely they’d let anyone else use it, even allies, because of the risk of leaking information, or even because it would let other people derive more information about its capabilities and limits.
