Interesting but the US could just bully Musk into turning off all the Starlink stuff in a given region half an hour before air operations start. Of course the fact the US military pays for a special version of it complicates things but nothing of theirs relies entirely on it so far and they have existing systems they can use if it's off.
yeah, but China can launch their own constellation now that would let them do the same thing. The best part is it doesn't even matter who operates the satellites. As long as you can tack signals from them, you'll be able to see the shadow of the jet passing under.
