So it turned out a Ukrainian kamikaze damaged an AWACS in Belarus ,
Nice - bullseye.

well, I will say RuAF has not really make a present in the last year, but I don't know if that is going to change, especially when Western Tank start roaming the battlefield, I would still want to have local air superiority before I fly my CAP in this situation.SAM superiority is > air superiority in this conflict. Both sides have done good job hiding their SAMs, and not losing them to the most trivial employment of antiradiation missiles.
One of the universally adopted tactic to kill bombers when you care about killing the bomber more than protecting what it was supposed to bomb is to just let it through, and shoot at it mid-way, or on its way back.
Yes, any RF signal "Theoretically" can be jammed. Just how hard it is, and how practical it is the matter. If I have unlimited resources and bottomless power, I can jam EVERY RF signal in this world.
But I can tell you as a matter of fact as a Tactical Officer who was trained with Type 4 NATO SATCOM protocol, you can't.
If you know anything about satellite jamming, there are only two ways you can jam a satellite, they are jamming their uplink and downlink com. Again, this might have work if you use commercial satellite, for Military Satellite, you can't, because you need to be able to filter out the encrypted comm burst to connect the uplink module, and that's also depends on the node ends, whether or not they will switch transfer mode. If they do, you will have to do over.
But that wouldn't be an issue because you will need to position your jamming device quite close to the signal interception, which mean if you do that, people will know you are trying to jam a military satellite.
Jamming Downlink is another issue, first you need to know where that connection is coming from, and then intercept said signal, you can't intercept that signal until it bounce back to the node, otherwise you would have no signal to jam, and it would have been protected by encryption anyway.
What you are essentially referring to is a kind of DDOS attack, again, it does not work against military satellite, first, you have to have a stronger signal and computing power to do that, second, you have to be in close proximity of the signal.
What you failed to see is you can connect to multiple signal with a single node. and 1 will become 2, 2 will become 4, 4 will become 16, while I cannot tell you how much is the maximum node connection, I can only say it is a lot more than 8. and then you have more than 1 node, and you will need to jam ALL THOSE to be able to successfully jam the comm.
umm.....no. EMP does not affect UHF
It may affect some low bandwidth UHF, but over 800Mhz are considered secured from HEMP. And UHF goes up to 3GHz
First of all, any hint of Russia using nuke is stupid. First, it wouldn't change the status of the battlefield for the Russian, it will only draw NATO closer to the conflict. You would have to either drop Megaton level nuke to make a different or hundred of <40Kt device. 1 40kt device have a damage radius of 15-20km, if Russian just nuke the front line, they would have to use hundred, if not thousands of tactical nuke. That's more or less the same as starting a global thermonuclear war.
Second, using nuke would go against the original goal, if Russia don't want part of Ukraine, why invade? Why not just use their air force and bomb Ukraine back to stoneage? Or better yet, why not use nuke on day 1? Nobody like to lose soldier for nothing, if they want to use nuke, they would have use it a long time ago.
