  "summary": "Ukraine may be shifting its reliance on Starlink satellite communications to Israeli-developed HiSky's SmartLITE terminals for long-range drone operations, according to a report by Kyiv Post. The Ukrainian drone forces could be using the HiSky terminals as an alternative communications channel for drones operating beyond the coverage of other satellite networks. Russian military sources claim that Ukrainian drones equipped with Starlite devices have been targeting military infrastructure and oil facilities inside Russia. However, neither Ukrainian authorities nor HiSky have confirmed the operational use of the system. The restrictions on Starlink's speed are reportedly hindering Ukrainian military operations, with President Volodymyr Zelensky calling for their removal.",
