“This is interesting in light of Col. MacGregor’s interview suggestion that there are rumors that Russia has given the order to take out satellites over Ukraine. Now, info about Starlink failures and now Tirada EW tests.”

Between Zelensky treating Musk like he treats the Germans and now this talk about satellites getting taken out, it certainly makes sense for Musk cut Ukraine loose.

The problem with “taking out satellites over Ukraine” is under the Star link system, the satellites, unlike communication satellites in geosynchronous orbit, do not remain over any point on Earth for more than a few minutes at a time. They would have to take out the entire constellation to silence it. Meanwhile, SpaceX is launching dozens of satellites per launch.
