See this previous story from the 4th of October for more details on Ukraine’s ideas for an alternative to StarLink https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2026/10/04/8056442/

Starlink and Leo disallow military use on their consumer services/constellations for many reasons - one being they do not want them declared military targets and attacked by China’s or Russia’s hunter/killer sats. Starshield and Leo’s ALG are more resilient and defensible and secure. Will this new Ukrainian satellite fleet be more like ALG and Starshield than the consumer sats?
