That seems so hugely minor in a what could possibly go wrong scenario, also it was tests, tests that may have allowance for relying on a service like Starlink (they mention Starlink not their military counterpart Starshield, which was not reported as down)
Sounds like it coud be some internal haters of the admin and Elon haters within the army or wherever were doing some field tests with UAVs and authorized-use civilian hardware having some fun with drones and it went down for an hour. Big whoop.
