a couple thoughts on anti-radiation missiles being fired at starlink dishes

1. the dishes are fairly low power (100w or less) and rather directional, so 
they aren't great targets.

2. dishes cost FAR less than the missiles that would be fired at them, and are 
being produced at a much higher rate (although there are probably more missles 
in the Russian inventory than spare dishes in SpaceX inventory)

direction finding teams with boots on the ground could be more of a threat, but 
the higher frequency signals are blocked fairly easily (which is why the dishes 
need a clear view of the sky). It takes a fair amount of training to be good at 
direction finding on weak and intermittent signals.
