SpaceX has taken action to restrict the Ukrainian army from using its Starlink internet service to control weapon-laden drones on the battlefield.
Speaking at an event in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, SpaceX president and chief operating officer Gwynne Shotwell said that while it was OK for the Ukrainian army to use Starlink for communications, its internet technology was “never meant to be weaponized.” In a tweet at the end of January, SpaceX boss Elon Musk said that whatever approach SpaceX took with regard to the use of its Starlink equipment in Ukraine, he would be criticized. “Damned if you do, damned if you don’t,” he said, adding: “Starlink has become the connectivity backbone of Ukraine all the way up to the front lines. This is the damned if you do part.
