Starlink in Iran: How the regime jams the service and what helps against it
www.heise.de
In Iran, not only mobile and fixed networks are jammed, but also Starlink. We explain how this is likely achieved despite thousands of satellites.

While neither the regime nor SpaceX likes to reveal their cards, hackers and journalists are not deterred by this, and the laws of physics apply to everyone.

    It’s hard to predict the outcome in such a chaotic event but starlink alone already does 100k+ collision avoidance maneuvers each year (can’t remember the exact number but is more than one every 2 minutes). It’s highly unlikely that we would be able to accurately track the newly formed debris of dozens of satellites blowing up and adjust the orbit of (potentially) hundreds of satellites in a few minutes.
