I'm sorry but this, as with the other chap, has little grounding in actual reality. The descriptions here of U2s and direct-overflight satellites and high-speed/low-altitude passes and chaps hanging out in the mud keeping notes on the guys with the brass on their heads bear no resemblance to reconnaissance or ISTAR more broadly, nor has it done for decades (if ever). You are severely, significantly underestimating how much information a modern western force generates on its adversaries, and surprisingly little of it requires anyone to be anywhere near the business end of things.
On Starlink specifically: Individual warfighters can and these days are routinely equipped with individual-level, high-bandwidth, secure BVR communications. There's nothing special about Starlink in this regard - western militaries have had comparable capabilities since day dot in satellite terms. Hence why removing Starlink would have little impact on their ability to fight - they're not using it, and likely won't ever use it for anything important.
