You are stuck in 20th century thinking.
There are over 10000 starlink birds up, and an unknown number of the classified Starshield versions easily in the thousands by now as we see P8s and C130s already with Starsheild phased arrays on them and our American shahed drones have minis on them too they just release the photos and people don’t even notice the tech strapped to them in plain sight.
No adversary today could shoot down 10000+ birds no way no how no one has the boosters for it or the launch cadence and SpaceX sends up 20+ every other day really twice a week now. And when Starship goes orbital it will take 60+ of the V3 birds up that make V2s look like dial-up modems the new V3 DC will send 5G to your handheld from orbit everywhere all the time even in Antarctica or the North Pole they have the permits for 30000 birds and probably will be granted 60000 or more. You are not living in the 21st century this is a fundamentally different from last century.
China could not take down starlink let alone Starshield if they wanted too the numbers are too big. Starshipw puts up 150 tonnes that’s 150,000kg in payload each time it launches Starbase LA is being built with over a dozen launch pads for a once per HOUR or more launch cadence again you are not thinking 21st century when you start putting 150,000kg in orbit at the pace of aircraft take offs no one anywhere touches you. It’s total domination of the sky and that’s what Elon is doing not planning actively doing he is the richest human who has ever lived after all he just does its his autistic way.
And when Starship goes orbital it will take 60+ of the V3 birds up that make V2s look like dial-up modems the new V3 DC will send 5G
