Starlink launches forty-ish Starlink sats every other week, Russia could deplete it’s entire arsenal of missiles and, if they’re lucky, cause a hole in their coverage.
Starlink birds fly too low for that, they will deorbit in 4-8 years if they go dead.

Where did I say I was a fan of him?
You’re making judgement calls about the technology because you hate the owner of the company, which is kinda sad.
