Václav Urban published a text styled as a SpaceX announcement, in which he claimed that the company had limited customer drones to a speed of 160 km/h for safety reasons on the front line, and that this change was not announced in advance. According to Urban, the restriction did not apply to Russian Shaheeds, as they are not the company’s customers. Urban further wrote that the Pentagon was paying for Starshield, Russian oil had been free of sanctions since Friday, and midterm elections were approaching. He also stated that the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense had contacted SpaceX, Washington, and NATO partners since the morning, and that the Polish foreign minister had publicly messaged Elon via X. He likened the silence of SpaceX, the White House, the Pentagon, and allies to drone operators waiting for a signal outage. In conclusion, Urban attributed to Elon the claim that Zelensky had gone too far and too fast, and ended the text with a thank you to "comrade Krasnov." #drony #bezpečnost #NATO (translated)
