It seems that the obvious solution could be Starlink-style meshes.

Can anybody comment on how fragile the Starlink protocol would be during a war? If its line-of-sight, presumably it would be hard to jam?

Send some sharpnel on the same orbital altitude as Starlink and the whole constellation disappears.

It's Starlink. It would take an sms from Putin at most for Musk to turn it off.
