Starlink sets restrictions to weaken Ukrainian army. Zelensky criticizes big mistake: fear of causing massive casualties

In an exclusive interview, Ukrainian President Zelensky criticized SpaceX for restricting the Ukrainian military's use of the Starlink satellite network without warning as a huge mistake, pointing out that this move will cause a large number of casualties. Sources from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense revealed that the Starlink connection of vehicles with speeds exceeding 160 kilometers per hour will be interrupted, affecting drone missions and frontline communications. SpaceX CEO Musk said the restrictions were decided by the U.S. military, and the White House did not respond publicly.

Strengthening monitoring of Chinese ships, the Coast Guard purchased the first US-made Manta T24 unmanned boat, launching Taiwan-US co-production

The Taiwan Coast Guard is purchasing the "Stella T24" unmanned surface vehicle manufactured by the US Maritime Tactical Systems Company to strengthen the detection and tracking of the increasingly frequent activities of Chinese vessels around Taiwan. This project is the Coast Guard's first exclusive unmanned boat project. It will be jointly produced with Taiwan's National Sun Yat-sen Academy of Sciences and local partner Chishen Company. It has a modular design and can perform tasks such as maritime surveillance, electronic warfare, mine countermeasures and anti-submarine reconnaissance. Zhang Zhonglong, director of the Coast Guard, said that the unmanned boat will operate in conjunction with aerial drones for long-range reconnaissance, investigation and long-distance rescue, and will eventually be integrated into the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance network. Although it has not yet been revealed whether the armament will be integrated into the T24, the boat fired training torpedoes during a test in Sweden in December 2024. Analysts point out that unmanned systems can expand surveillance coverage and reduce personnel risks, but they need to be deeply integrated into existing command systems to be effective.
