UK deepens reliance on Musk's SpaceX, spending nearly $40 million on satellite services
Britain has spent nearly forty million dollars on SpaceX satellite services. This spending deepens reliance on Elon Musk's company for military communications. The United Kingdom is the first country outside the US to publicly acknowledge Starshield adoption. Britain's defence ministry uses about one thousand Starshield and five hundred Starlink terminals. This move occurs amid European concerns about dependence on US security infrastructure.
