India is super super poor still I cannot imagine they would build out domestic Starlink for hypothetical wars before other actual critical infrastructure.
They have an actual space program that launches actual satellites. They have also been in several actual, non-hypothetical wars.
What makes you think india is "super super" poor? India's GDP is humongous (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nomi...).
Same as Russia, yeah. But Reliance Jio seems to have announced something. Don't know if it'll actually happen.
They have nukes and are always on the verge of war with Pakistan (who also have nukes). I'm sure they have money for war, everyone always does.
