Combine this with news about how quickly Starlink mitigated Russian EW and the Pentagon's reaction(1). It looks like portions of the US Government have badly underestimated what people and organizations outside their circles can accomplish.
It's no surprise that their regulations aren't keeping up with how the open source SDR community has driven down the barrier to entry.

- littlestymaar 4y agoThe “starlink defeated Russia EW” is mostly a PR stunt: Russia doesn't have air-born EW (not counting the one on their Orlan-10 UAV, which AFAIK isn't made for jamming, but for intel) so there's not much they can do: They can't jam the dishes because no air-born EW, and they cannot jam the satellites either because they are pointing their antenna away from the territories under Russian control.
