Some have gone to support Ukraine, while others were sent to British soldiers stationed abroad.\n\nUkraine has been supplied with more than 50,000 Starlink terminals since Russia’s invasion in 2022. Some have arrived as US military aid or as donations from SpaceX.\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
