So you're saying that Ukraine wanted to use civilian Starlink for this operation even though they had the military Starlink?

They do not have the military starlink, the US military is still developing applications for it. The only widely available access to Starlink is via the commercial access. We've not provided Ukraine with anything cutting edge because we don't want it to fall into russian hands. It's why we're sending them shit from the 80s and 90s.
