Agreed, but I don't understand the cost structure at all. Basic Starlink service in the US is $110 a month, and all these quotes are for service fees in Ukraine are on the order of $2500-$4500 a month. I totally get that deploying into another country (and a war zone at that) may have some structurally higher costs due to currency conversions and extra support, but 20-40x seems absurd.

I would love to have some explain to me why I am wrong, but this seems like war profiteering to me.
