Good on Elon/SpaceX for pointing more satellites at Ukraine (is that even how this works?). But do we know if they have enough kits to use it, I hope they're also working on getting more into Ukraine.

Not being critical of this, just curious.

The starlink satellites are in low earth orbit and fly-over coverage varies only by latitude.

They do have the ability to ‘point’ service with electronically steerable antennas, but at ~50 degrees N, Kyiv is actually in a very good place for Starlink support.

The main question is where Starlink will have ground stations and how vulnerable they might be to attack. A single ground station can service users within 3-4 hundred mile radius. In addition, the terminals require zero local infrastructure beyond basic power and can sole m supply 200+Mbps down, 40+ up.

There's decent coverage in Ukraine from ground stations in Lithuania, Poland, and Turkey: https://starlink.sx.
