Can Starlink be blocked? Scary Chinese simulation shows 1,000 drones can jam satellite internet over an island as large as Taiwan

SMRTR summary

The study demonstrated this drone swarm could theoretically cut off the island's satellite communications, though maintaining such an operation would be extremely costly and logistically challenging to sustain.
