Germany also recently claims passive radar (SABBIA) using starlink signals to detect small drones, which has roughly RCS of stealth fighters. IIRC there were folks exploing starlink transimissions as bi/multistatic illumination source since 2020. Along similiar concept of using cell phone towers to detect stealth back in 2000s, which I haven't really see popsci junk publications talking since, which either means it's very fake, or imo, more likely very real. Chinese also explored similar in 2000s - Sparse-array synthetic impulse and aperture radar (SIAR) using multiple illuminators, seems pretty credible that megaconstellation is going to be illuminators going forward. Either way, no one expected VLS advantage to last forever, even in F117 days.
