Ukrainian forces have been recording significant restrictions in Starshield operations for several days along the entire front line and over temporarily occupied territories. According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, the system’s speed has been limited to 161 km/h, complicating the interception of Russian jet-powered drones.
This was reported by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Zelensky said Ukrainian forces had checked the situation. According to their findings, these are not random errors but a systematic Starshield speed restriction at 100 miles per hour, or 161 km/h.
According to the president, this is having the greatest impact on the systems used to intercept Russian jet-powered drones.
“Unfortunately, there have already been successful strikes because interception systems cannot reach sufficient speed and fail to catch up in time,” Zelensky said.
He added that such restrictions are helping Russia carry out more successful strikes against Ukraine.
The Ukrainian side is trying to clarify all the circumstances with the United States.
Earlier, Zelensky received reports from Ukrainian Defense Minister Yevhen Khmara and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatyi.
