They say it's impossible to block the dishes on drones, I have a hard time believing that. I wonder how long would it take to figure out a way to block them if those drones started to fly over/into Boca Chica

"Impossible" has got to be a knowing lie. Starlink knows where you are, and how fast you are moving, to connect you, and who you are to bill you for it.

The fact the CEO of the company has been praised by Putin, and is a vocal supporter of a Presidential candidate who is considered a Russian asset, has for sure nothing to do with it...\s

If you can target the dish to block it, couldn’t you also shoot the drone down?

Yes, its truly impossible to

    SELECT *
    FROM receivers
    WHERE receiver_location = Ukraine
    AND receiver_speed > 100
    AND receiver_registered_with_GRU = false
    ORDER BY registration_date ASC;

Its every feasible to block all starlonk forever for any spacefaring power aka Kessler. Thus starlink has to get along with all the big boys and bullies ,wether it likes it or not.

Anything provided to Ukraine as long as there's no whitelist is available to Russia.

They can stop offering mobility or limit speeds away from the frontline.
