Military starlinks (starshield) are essentially the same as civilian ones, difference is in prioritization and limits. Also fearing strikes from r*ssia is beyond regarded, they understand only strength and fear.

According to the report, Ukraine also suggested using SpaceX’s military-grade Starshield network if Musk refuses to authorize Starlink, although Ukrainian officials said Starshield would be more expensive and harder to integrate into existing drone systems.

This is in the linked article. Kyiv Post and UA officials disagree that they're essentially the same, and they want starlink.

The same bus and similar capabilities is about the individual sat, the starlink constellation is large and full, there's many overhead constantly. The newer mil one will take time to reach those numbers.

We already have 'starshield' starlinks in limited numbers in minecraft. They are more expensive afaik, but antennas/recievers are the same (maybe it's some kind of limited access to the system or they don't produce/supply different/military terminals yet I don't know).
