I don't think that starship would survive in a hostile airspace longer than average drone. Starship is not fast, it has huge radar reflection surface and it has very hot engine. It will get shot down by basically any SAM or MANPAD made in last 50 years.

It wouldn't get near hostile airspace, but it's projectiles will. Moreover 3D printed engines (which other rocket companies are developing) are cheap enough that you could absorb some losses.
