Don’t let the fascists fool you, there are alternatives to Starlink. Eutelsat in France, Telesat in Canada and Inmarsat in the UK, just to name a few examples.
Now, I don’t know, but I would assume its the latency. Starlink has a (impressively) low ping of < 100ms, while existing alternatives usually have 600ms+. Now, that’s only relevant if they are using it for stuff like flying drones.

It’s faster, cheaper, and on the tech side more reliable (definitely not politically reliable though).

I think you’d notice half a second even just browsing the Web.
Yes, but a wep page loading slow isn’t critical. Controlling armed drones in a battle is.
Starlink has enough uplink to be able to handle live video streams and a latency low enough to do this with simple tools.
I’m not sure if that still happens, but I’ve seen some pictures of Ukrainian command bunkers literally getting drone feeds using discord screen share.
