    If they hadn’t known that it wasn’t on then that would be a pretty big part of the screwup, I’m sure Starlink wasn’t keeping it a secret that there was no service there.

      Given the urgency of the request makes me think they didn’t know.

      I don’t think we’ve ever gotten a reliable answer on if they knew or didn’t though

      Edit: E.g they’ve never admitted to a successful use in the region prior to that event to indicate it was actually on or attempted before.

      Edit: I think they were also told it’d work in Ukraine, but maybe unknown to them that didn’t include Russia controlled areas. I can see the mistake happening
