Elon Musk publicly cited a 16 October post by Zelensky in which the Ukrainian president acknowledged using Starlink for medium-range drone strikes, arguing this violated the service’s terms of use; Musk announced the loophole had been closed. Russian milblogger Two Majors published a compiled dossier of documented cases in which Ukrainian strike drones — including the RAM-2X (stated 180 km range) and various FPV platforms — were observed using Starlink terminals, alongside footage of Russian interceptors catching Starlink-equipped Ukrainian drones attacking civilian vehicles.
