Space: Warfare And Defense
Instead of relying on one massive, expensive satellite, militaries are launching "constellations" of hundreds of smaller, cheaper satellites. If an enemy destroys one, the network survives.
Space warfare is rarely about destroying the enemy physically. It is about blinding them, cutting off their communications, and rendering their advanced Earth-based weapons useless. ⚔️ Modern Space Weapons SPACE WARFARE AND DEFENSE
The biggest deterrent to active space warfare is self-preservation. Instead of relying on one massive, expensive satellite,
Equipping satellites with more fuel or electric propulsion to suddenly change their orbits and dodge incoming threats or debris. It is about blinding them, cutting off their
"Stalker" satellites that can maneuver close to an enemy satellite to inspect, disable, or physically push it out of orbit.
The most common form of space attack. Uplinks and downlinks are jammed with noise, or satellite control systems are hacked directly from Earth. 🛡️ The Strategy of Space Defense
