Wouldn't make a difference in this instance. Not only would they need base stations somewhere in country but the users would require a dish. Both could and probably would be in this case found and destroyed by the military.


Many wireless and ethernet connections could ultimately network with just a few Starlink user dishes in population centers. I think the base station could be located in neighboring countries. It might be plausible if you have a bunch of young people who are disconnected for too long.
