華爾街日報報導,SpaceX執行長馬斯克下令限制烏克蘭軍用版星鏈「星盾」速度,影響烏軍無人機作戰。美國官員澄清此舉非白宮授意,凸顯馬斯克對戰爭走向的個人影響力引發華府擔憂。

星鏈為烏克蘭軍隊提供戰場通訊與無人機作戰的關鍵支援。馬斯克對該系統的控制權長期以來一直是國際關注焦點。
烏克蘭使用美國太空探索科技公司(SpaceX)旗下衛星網路「星鏈」(Starlink)軍用版遭限速,華爾街日報21日引述消息人士說法,指限速是由SpaceX執行長馬斯克(Elon Musk)親自下令。此事也凸顯更深層問題:馬斯克個人對這場戰爭的影響力。
華爾街日報引述美國官員和知情人士說法,馬斯克上週下令限制烏克蘭設備連線軍用版星鏈速度,導致部分攻擊及攔截無人機幾乎失去作用。一名消息人士指出,馬斯克事前曾與包括總統川普在內的政府高層談過;但是部分美國官員說,馬斯克是片面行動,川普並未明確下令對烏克蘭採取任何報復措施。馬斯克和川普都曾對烏克蘭最近幾週攻擊俄國柴油煉油廠表達憤怒,川普並將燃料價格居高不下歸咎於此。
路透、法新社報導,美國國務卿魯比歐21日表示,烏國使用星鏈的相關決定權在SpaceX和馬斯克,而非白宮,「總統與星鏈、星盾和馬斯克所做決定無關」,設備如何使用、允許什麼速度,是由私人商業合約規範。國防部長(戰爭部長)赫格塞斯(Pete Hegseth)前一天也表示,五角大廈未下令改變連線服務。SpaceX公司未評論此事。
華爾街日報報導,此事凸顯馬斯克對這場戰爭的單獨影響力,星鏈為前線烏軍提供關鍵支援,馬斯克似乎只要撥動開關,就能改變一場致命戰爭的走向。路透也指出,此事可能升高華府有關馬斯克個人影響美國外交政策能力的憂慮。
烏軍仰賴軍用版星鏈「星盾」(Starshield)進行戰場通訊、對俄羅斯的中程打擊和攔截型無人機行動,也使用民用版「星鏈」。澤倫斯基的國防科技顧問貝斯克列斯特諾夫(Serhii Beskrestnov)日前接受美聯社訪問指出,星盾是烏國無人機作戰的骨幹,在許多前線陣地,星鏈也是官兵與家人聯絡的唯一管道,對維持部隊士氣相當重要。
他說,烏國目前在尋找替代方案,正評估亞馬遜(Amazon)建置中的衛星網路,以及歐洲通訊衛星公司(Eutelsat)旗下OneWeb等,這不僅是為防範未來失去連線,也因俄軍已在前線多處部署電子戰系統干擾,設法反制星鏈。

The U.S. Department of Defense released a new version of the "How the Army Fights" guide, listing the People's Liberation Army as a major threat. The US military plans to deploy long-range precision strike forces and multi-domain task forces on the first island chain to ensure that it can quickly enter combat when conflicts in the Taiwan Strait break out, and to strengthen the logistics support system of the second island chain.

Lieutenant General Hilbert, commander of the Eighth Army of the U.S. Army in South Korea, said that if the troops receive orders, they must be prepared to deploy to areas outside the Korean Peninsula.

A U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet test aircraft was recently photographed carrying two long-range air-to-air missiles, the AIM-174B and the AIM-260A, over southern California. This is the first time that the two types of missiles have been publicly recorded on the same fighter aircraft at the same time.

The USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier set sail from the Yokosuka base in Japan on the 19th to participate in the US-Japanese "Sharp Sword 27" joint military exercise, and will then rush to the Middle East. The U.S. military expects to mobilize three aircraft ships and two amphibious operations forces around Iran before the end of November to strengthen military deployment in the Middle East.

Lockheed. Martin is evaluating building a "Ukrainian-specific" F-16 fighter jet for Ukraine that has a longer range, is equipped with AESA radar and strengthens European weapons integration. Ukrainian President Zelensky has recently met with the Lockheed Martin team to discuss logistics maintenance and training.
