SpaceX“星链”互联网系统在乌克兰持续遭到限速,随着这场饱受战火蹂躏的国家面临的赌注不断升级,乌克兰官员和一位国家安全专家周五表示。
SpaceX Starlink internet system continues to be throttled in Ukraine as the stakes rise for the war-torn country, Ukrainian officials and a national security expert said Friday.
“每一天对乌克兰都至关重要,因为每一条乌克兰人的生命都至关重要,”乌克兰驻美副大使杰尼斯·谢尼克在周五的一篇帖子中写道。“我们的民众正在等待好消息,希望限制能被解除,我们的守卫者能拥有保护生命所需的能力,”谢尼克说。“不幸的是,截至今天,没有任何变化。我们仍在等待。”自10月14日起,乌克兰官员指责SpaceX通过对“星盾”——即“星链”的军用级产品——实施速度限制,削弱了该国的自卫能力。
"Every day matters for Ukraine, because every Ukrainian life matters," wrote Denys Sienik, Ukraine's deputy ambassador to the U.S., in a Friday post on "Our people are waiting for positive news, hoping that the restrictions will be lifted and our defenders will have the capabilities they need to protect lives," Sienik said. "Unfortunately, as of today, nothing has changed. We continue to wait." Since Oct. 14, Ukrainian officials have accused SpaceX of undermining the country's ability to defend itself by imposing speed limits on Starshield, the military-grade Starlink offering.
官员称,任何时速超过100英里(约161公里)的无人机都会失去连接,导致一些任务中断。
Any drone traveling above 100 mph lost its connection, disrupting some missions, officials said.
尽管特朗普总统近期发表言论暗示服务已恢复,但位于华盛顿特区、专注于能源、国防技术和全球贸易的智库“白银政策加速器”主席德米特里·阿尔佩罗维奇表示,乌克兰的“星盾”终端周五仍持续出现问题。
Despite recent comments from President Donald Trump that indicated service was restored, Ukraine's Starshield terminals continued to experience problems on Friday, said Dmitri Alperovitch, chairman of the Silverado Policy Accelerator, a Washington, D.C., think tank focused on energy, defense tech and global trade.
“他们正在损失无人机,”阿尔佩罗维奇同时也是网络安全公司CrowdStrike的联合创始人兼前首席技术官,他对CNBC表示。“对俄军后勤实施中段打击的能力现在受到了限制。”乌克兰总统泽连斯基告诉美国广播公司(ABC News)新闻部,“星链”系统周五仍在记录问题,他的国防技术顾问谢尔盖·别斯克列斯特诺夫也在其Telegram频道的一篇帖子中确认限制依然存在。
"They are losing drones," Alperovitch, who is also a co-founder and former chief technology officer of cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike told CNBC. "Ability to do mid strike to hit Russian logistics is now limited." Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told ABC News that the Starlink system was still recording issues on Friday, and his defense tech advisor, Serhii Beskrestnov, also confirmed the restrictions were in place in a post on his Telegram channel.
“虽然存在个别‘星链’可能在既定限制之外某种程度上运行的情况,但这很可能是SpaceX算法或特定使用条件导致的结果,而非实际解除了限制,”别斯克列斯特诺夫在一篇经谷歌翻译的帖子中说。马斯克和SpaceX的代表没有立即回应置评请求。究竟谁应对限制乌克兰服务的决定负最终责任仍不清楚。
"While there are isolated cases where Starlink may operate somewhat beyond the established limits, this is likely a result of SpaceX's algorithms or specific usage conditions, rather than an actual removal of restrictions," Beskrestnov said in a post translated by Google. Musk and representatives from SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Who is ultimately responsible for the decision to limit Ukraine's service remains unclear.
《华尔街日报》周四报道称,特朗普曾通过电话与埃隆·马斯克讨论解除对乌克兰“星盾”终端的限制。
Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that Trump spoke to Elon Musk by phone about lifting the restrictions on Ukraine's Starshield terminals.
特朗普周四表示,他不想“向任何一方置评”自己是否曾给马斯克打过电话,并补充说:“底线是,他把它恢复了。”但到了周五,特朗普坚称自己没有与马斯克通话,并重申“星盾”服务已恢复。
Trump said Thursday he didn't "want to comment one way or the other" about whether he made the call to Musk, and added, "The bottom line, he put it back." But on Friday, Trump insisted that he hadn't spoken with Musk, and reiterated that Starshield service had been restored.
“我听说已经修好了,”特朗普在白宫外对记者说。“但如果没修好,我会跟他谈。”
"I've heard it was fixed," Trump told reporters outside the White House. "But if it's not, I'll speak to him."
在“星盾”服务中断期间,泽连斯基和其他乌克兰官员提出了采用额外卫星互联网通信系统的可能性。专家此前曾告诉CNBC,对乌克兰或其他国家来说,要获得Starlink的替代方案可能颇具挑战,因为其他选项目前尚无法与该服务相提并论。
Amid the Starshield disruptions, Zelenskyy and other Ukrainian officials have floated the possibility of adopting additional satellite internet communications systems. Experts previously told CNBC that it could prove challenging for Ukraine or other countries to secure alternatives to Starlink since other options are not yet comparable to the service.
泽连斯基周三在一篇帖子中写道,他会见了挪威官员和挪威防务公司Kongsberg,讨论防空系统以及“为我们的战士启动新的卫星通信能力建设工作”。周四,乌克兰国防部与诺基亚和芬兰空间情报公司ICEYE签署了一份意向书,旨在“探索太空领域的合作”并“支持乌克兰的国防能力,特别是在建设主权卫星通信方面”,两家公司在一份声明中表示。
Zelenskyy wrote on Wednesday in a post on that he met with Norwegian officials and Kongsberg, a Norwegian defense company, to discuss air defense systems and "launching work on new satellite communication capabilities for our warriors." On Thursday, Ukraine's Ministry of Defense signed a letter of intent with Nokia and ICEYE, a Finnish space intelligence firm, to "explore cooperation in space" and "support Ukraine's defense capabilities, particularly in building sovereign satellite communications," the companies said in a release.
“现代战争已经证明,可靠的通信关系到国家安全,”泽连斯基在一份声明中表示。“我们都必须依赖我们能够控制的能力。”马斯克与乌克兰的冲突加速了对星链替代方案的需求。几乎没有替代方案存在 第三方评估人员在测试试点中发现OpenAI监控系统存在漏洞 英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋表示,对新云需求“超出预期”,但资本稀缺 特斯拉营收和销售超预期,尽管汽车营收下降
"Modern warfare has proven that reliable communications are a matter of national security," Zelenskyy said in a statement. "We must all rely on capabilities that we can control."
