Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service experienced a widespread outage on September 15, affecting over 43,000 users globally. The disruption, tracked by Downdetector.com, was resolved within hours, with fewer than 1,000 U.S. users remaining affected by 1:15 a.m. GMT. Starlink's website initially acknowledged the issue before deleting the status update.
The outage had tangible consequences in Ukraine, where military drone operations were temporarily hampered. Robert Brovdi, founder of the 'Madyar’s Birds' drone unit, noted a 30-minute service interruption along the front lines. Starlink's role in critical infrastructure underscores its growing importance beyond civilian use.
