> the Ukraine war in Ukraine's favor once starlink locked down access

I think this is coincidental correlation. In the same period drone warfare was evolving until it reached some stalemate with an optic-fiber strewn killzone where none of the belligerents have an upper hand, and Ukraine's ballistic missile industry picked up pace, allowing Ukraine to hit far into Russia without relying on American long-range munitions, or needing American permission to use those munitions.

Many of the long range drones use starlink terminals.

The deep attacks inside Russia would be significantly more difficult without starlink.

This is inaccurate: Starlink was geofenced to Ukrainian territory after Musk's World War III tweet. Deep strikes inside Russia are mostly missiles, but not even the deep-strike drones can use Starlink due to geofencing.

Starlink can't, but Starshield can.
