I works assume if/when something really kicks off the starlink and starshield networks would be high priority targets.

(I’m mildly curious what their ground stations in Central Europe look like from this perspective).

That's the thing, to take down any of the megaconstellations you need thousands of antisat weapons and that's just one constellation. Not sure about the competitors but at least for Starlink their laser links should provide ample fallback for ground stations going out of service.

Just a few destroyed satellites would likely produce enough debris to take out everything else in orbit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Chinese_anti-satellite_mi...
