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.

I'd bet they already knew this was possible and hoped to exploit it against China for awhile before anyone else figured it out.

If that's the case the US is totally doomed. Anyone with Hall a brain should have been able to tell that China is the global heart of scientific development and they have more than enough people smart enough to figure this out fast.

Honestly they've probably had this tech since like a month after Elon announced Starlink and are only now revealing it.
