Per launch a Falcon 9 lifts about double and in the last couple years Falcon 9 has launched 2-4x as often.

As of right now Russia likely also doesn't have the missiles you suggest. I would argue that Starship is closer then an advanced anti-sat weapon that can split up in orbit and hit many targets.
