WarTalk: Kofman on Starshield rate limiting and the lessons Ukraine offers the US military
On the WarTalk podcast, Michael Kofman pointed out that SpaceX has imposed rate limiting on Ukraine's Starshield network, capping drone connection speeds at roughly 160 km/h and making them unstable, which has caused heavy losses of Ukrainian light and heavy medium-range strike drones operating at depths of 50–300 kilometers and has hindered the mass production of its jet-powered interceptor drones. He believes that the United States still holds leverage over the war, that Europe cannot replace the United States' role in NATO, and that procuring drones is meaningless without accompanying drone platoons and companies.
