This would be relying on SpaceX Starlink to provide secure and unjammable communications in the event of a conflict with China or Russia.
STARLINK is providing such military grade communications for the Ukraine. Russian military hackers have not been able to hack and disable Starlink.

The majority of satellite based comms that the military uses is from commercial providers.
Note they are demoing Starlink, NOT Starshield.
It’s rather like Bitcoin. The ONLY useful standard is to have a real world situation where there is a lot of motivation for all adversaries to break the system any way they can. If it survives over a long period it’s a success.
SpaceX/Starlink are essentially going to have an entire US military Service branch, the Space Force – as their personal security force backed by everything else the US military and Intelligence services have got.
Ukraine provided a real world demonstration for Starlink that couldn’t be duplicated any other way.
Isn’t it a bit precarious to rely on a private company for this.
Also, what is the internal security at spacex?
It one thing to hack from the basement, it’s another to take the spacex workers families hostage.
Huh??? In Contrast to every other private company that provides services to governments????
