TechPentagon inspector general declines probe into Starlink restrictions in Ukraine

The Pentagon inspector general’s office rejected US senators’ request to investigate recent limits on Ukraine’s military use of SpaceX’s Starlink and military-grade Starshield networks. Ukraine said drones lost satellite connectivity above 100 mph; the limit was lifted after about 10 days. The senators asked who imposed the restrictions and whether they complied with US government contracts.
