Ukraine’s Middle Strike drones are crippling Russian logistics up to 200 kilometers behind the front, helping Ukrainian forces liberate occupied territory. But for 10 days, unexpected speed restrictions affected SpaceX’s Starshield connectivity. Here’s how the restrictions unfolded between October 14 and 24, and how normal service was restored.

Ukrainian drones and missiles struck five Russian defense factories, targeting critical supply chains to prevent Moscow’s missiles from striking Ukrainian cities.

Russia’s war machine spends more than $200 billion annually on its war against Ukraine. And this appears to be the maximum Moscow and the broader Russian economy can currently afford, as long as sanctions remain in place and prevent Russia from earning more.

First Poland, then Bulgaria, now Lithuania—within a month, Starlink infrastructure across Europe has become the target of suspected sabotage, with fires destroying communications equipment and authorities pointing to Russian involvement.

The US-proposed energy ceasefire lasted barely a few hours before Russian missiles struck Kharkiv’s largest thermal power plant. Soon after, Moscow launched dozens of attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, triggering blackouts and disrupting water supplies.

Attack robots dropped behind Russian lines by drones, carefully orchestrated battlefield bluff, and an offensive that left three Russian armies weakened—Ukraine’s Operation Vivaldi has ended with 277 square kilometers retaken and at least 8,000 Russian troops killed or wounded.
