Starlink satellites operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX provide high-speed internet - something modern war relies heavily on.♪

埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 的 SpaceX 运营的星链卫星提供高速互联网——这是现代战争严重依赖的。

Kyiv has adopted it as a vital battlefield communications tool and also uses it in drone warfare.♪

基辅已将其作为重要的战场通信工具，并将其用于无人机战争。

Using Starlink, Ukrainian drones are able to maintain stronger connections with operators over longer distances than conventional radio networks and are less vulnerable to jamming.♪

使用星链，乌克兰无人机能够在比传统无线电网络更远的距离上与运营商保持更强的连接，并且不易受到干扰。

But a sudden speed restriction for drones connected to Starlink means some battlefield "missions" have been disrupted, according to a top Ukrainian official.♪

但乌克兰高级官员表示，连接星链的无人机突然受到速度限制，意味着一些战场“任务”被打乱。

Serhiy Beskrestnov also said officials had not been told about the 100mph (160km/h) speed limits set overnight on Tuesday by Elon Musk's SpaceX company.♪

Serhiy Beskrestnov 还表示，官员们尚未获悉埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 的 SpaceX 公司周二夜间设定的 100 英里/小时（160 公里/小时）的限速。

Throttling drones connected to the network at this relatively low speed makes Ukrainian efforts to intercept jet-powered Russian drones all but useless, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).♪

根据战争研究所（ISW）的说法，以相对较低的速度连接到网络的无人机使得乌克兰拦截喷气动力俄罗斯无人机的努力几乎毫无用处。

Musk's network of satellites makes Ukrainian drone operators more effective Starlink is "the backbone of military communications in Ukraine", the institute's George Barros says, and is used across Kyiv's naval, land, and air forces.♪

马斯克的卫星网络使乌克兰无人机操作员更加高效 该研究所的乔治·巴罗斯表示，星链是“乌克兰军事通信的支柱”，并在基辅的海军、陆军和空军中使用。

Barros, who is the ISW's Director of Innovation and Open Source Tradecraft told the BBC that the restrictions could have major implications as the technology allows "drones, artillery and command posts to function as a single real-time network where the time between sensor-to-shooter is minimized."♪

ISW 创新和开源 Tradecraft 总监巴罗斯告诉 BBC，这些限制可能会产生重大影响，因为该技术允许“无人机、火炮和指挥所作为单个实时网络运行，其中传感器到射击者之间的时间被最小化”。

Starlink does not work inside Russia, but Ukrainian drones can use the satellites to communicate back to their operators during strikes.♪

星链在俄罗斯境内无法使用，但乌克兰无人机可以在袭击期间使用卫星与操作员进行通信。

There is no ready replacement for the network.♪ Starlink-enabled interceptors are also among Ukraine's most effective solution against jet-powered Russian Shahed drones, he said.♪

目前还没有现成的网络替代品。 他说，支持星链的拦截器也是乌克兰对抗喷气式俄罗斯沙赫德无人机最有效的解决方案之一。

Shaheds fly at speeds in excess of 198mph, meaning SpaceX's restriction makes Ukrainian efforts to chase them down all but impossible.♪

Shahed 的飞行速度超过 198 英里/小时，这意味着 SpaceX 的限制使得乌克兰追捕它们的努力几乎不可能。

Tom Whittington, electronic warfare expert and associate fellow at RUSI, told BBC Radio 4's PM programme that the satellite system allows Ukraine to move large amounts of data - like video, text and voice calls - in a similar way that smartphones do but without the infrastructure that phones need.♪

电子战专家兼 RUSI 副研究员汤姆·惠廷顿 (Tom Whittington) 告诉 BBC 广播 4 台的 PM 节目，卫星系统允许乌克兰以与智能手机类似的方式传输大量数据，例如视频、文本和语音通话，但无需手机所需的基础设施。

The speed restrictions "effectively preclude" anything connected to the network going above 100mph, Whittington said, making drone navigation difficult within Ukraine and Russian-occupied territory inside Ukraine.♪

惠廷顿表示，速度限制“有效地阻止”任何与网络连接的速度超过 100 英里/小时的物体，这使得无人机在乌克兰和乌克兰境内俄罗斯占领的领土上导航变得困难。

Serhiy Beskrestnov - Zelensky's adviser - says he believes the restrictions are not a coincidence and are related to the latest strains between Kyiv and Washington.♪

泽连斯基的顾问谢尔盖·别斯克雷斯诺夫表示，他认为这些限制并非巧合，而是与基辅和华盛顿之间最新的紧张关系有关。

President Trump has criticised Ukraine's long-range strikes on Russian oil refineries and called for a new leader - criticisms which have been echoed by Elon Musk.♪

特朗普总统批评乌克兰对俄罗斯炼油厂的远程打击，并呼吁任命新领导人——埃隆·马斯克也回应了这些批评。

Ukraine's complaint about the restrictions has drawn attention to both Starlink, and Starshield - a military-grade version of the network developed for the Pentagon by SpaceX.♪

乌克兰对这些限制的抱怨引起了人们对“星链”和“星盾”的关注——星盾是 SpaceX 为五角大楼开发的军用级网络版本。

Musk says the two systems are separate, but in many cases they share the same underlying satellite technology.♪

马斯克表示，这两个系统是独立的，但在许多情况下它们共享相同的底层卫星技术。

And in a post on X, external, Musk suggested the US government could be responsible for the slowdown afflicting Ukrainian usage of the technology.♪

马斯克在 X, external 上发表的一篇文章中表示，美国政府可能要对乌克兰使用该技术的速度放缓负责。

"Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government," he wrote.♪

“星盾系统由美国政府拥有和控制，”他写道。

"Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS.♪ "Starlink is a commercial service owned and controlled by SpaceX.♪

“对速度或使用的任何限制均由美国军方决定，并最终由美国总统决定。 “Starlink 是 SpaceX 拥有和控制的一项商业服务。

Usage of Starlink is limited to civilian or defensive activities and cannot be used for offensive military action, as doing so would be inappropriate for a commercial company."♪ Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and Moscow currently controls about 20% of Ukrainian territory.♪

星链的使用仅限于民用或防御活动，不能用于进攻性军事行动，因为这样做对于商业公司来说是不合适的。” 俄罗斯总统普京于2022年对乌克兰发动全面入侵，莫斯科目前控制着乌克兰约20%的领土。

SpaceX's satellite communications have proved vital to both armies during the four-year war, including a Russian attack on a moving passenger train, but earlier this year Musk cut the use of Starlink terminals for Russian forces in a move that blunted Moscow's advance in Ukraine and caused confusion among Russian commanders.♪

事实证明，在四年战争期间，SpaceX 的卫星通信对两军都至关重要，其中包括俄罗斯对行驶中的旅客列车的袭击，但今年早些时候，马斯克削减了俄罗斯军队使用星链终端的举措，此举削弱了莫斯科在乌克兰的进展，并引起了俄罗斯指挥官的混乱。

Burnham treads carefully with Zelensky visit, balancing Trump and Ukraine Russia's offensive ability is broken, Kyiv's former top general tells BBC The terrifying new weapon changing the war in Ukraine♪

伯纳姆谨慎对待泽连斯基的访问，平衡特朗普和乌克兰 基辅前高级将领告诉BBC，俄罗斯的进攻能力已被打破 改变乌克兰战争的可怕新武器
