Doesn't Starlink depend on ground stations? So toss a couple of missiles at those ground stations, and Starlink isn't as useful.
If it has ground stations all around the world, the satellites can use direct connections between each other to generate a mesh network and find a working path.
Depends on who the invader is. If it's America going after yet another country in the Middle East, Starlink Cellular certainly won't help.

And probably how Elon is feeling that day about the participants
Why would Starlink be more resilient against hacks than ground-based LTE?
It is my understanding that Starlink does not do home-grown crypto of the 3GPP-kind. Also because it is closed ecosystem there is no need for SIMs and the associated deployment mechanisms.
Their "direct to cell" service is a regular LTE network, so it must be using all the same protocols in order to be compatible with existing devices.
