华盛顿——乌克兰周三表示,埃隆·马斯克的SpaceX公司限制了“军用级”星链服务,阻碍了乌克兰的无人机打击任务和防空行动。这一投诉再次引发人们对星链——SpaceX的商业卫星互联网服务——与星盾——为五角大楼开发的军事版本——之间区别的关注。虽然马斯克表示这两个系统是分开的,但在许多情况下,它们共享相同的底层卫星技术。
马斯克周三在社交媒体平台X上发帖称:“星盾系统由美国政府拥有和控制”,并补充说,任何速度或使用限制均由美国军方或美国总统决定。
WASHINGTON - Ukraine said on Wednesday that Elon Musk’s SpaceX had restricted “military-grade” Starlink services, hampering Ukrainian drone strike missions and air defenses. The complaint has drawn renewed attention to the distinction between Starlink, SpaceX’s commercial satellite internet service, and Starshield, a military version developed for the Pentagon. While Musk has said the two systems are separate, in many cases they share the same underlying satellite technology.“Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the U.S. government,” Musk said on Wednesday in a post on social media platform X, adding that any limits on speed or usage are decided by the U.S. military or the U.S. president.
