Nah. There's no practical way to jam tight beam satellite data links unless you place the jammer near the ground terminal. And the US government has already stated that they would consider kinetic strikes on US-owned commercial satellites as an act of war.

Weren't the Yandex facilities behind multiple layers of defense systems?
I feel like China and US are the only ones in the next 50 years who'll have launch capability cheap enough to hit satellites.
