Starlink is an Internet service developed by US SpaceX and relies on satellites in low-Earth orbit to provide communication, especially in rural and remote areas where the Internet is weak or unavailable.
Starlink is considered the "brain column of military communications in Ukraine", providing vital high-speed internet to the armed forces throughout the country.
The failures at Starlink have again shown to what extent Ukraine depends on this satellite network to communicate and operate drones in front of combat. But the importance of Elon Musk's network goes far beyond this war. In several conflicts, it has become essential to ensure communications and, in other countries, it allows access to the Internet even when governments impose blockades or restrictions on information.
