NATO Suspects Russia Is Developing Orbiting Clouds of Shrapnel to Take Down Starlinks

The intelligence findings are alarming, but some space security experts aren’t convinced Russia would take such a misguided risk.

Of the more than 14,000 active satellites in low-Earth orbit today, roughly two-thirds belong to Elon Musk’s Starlink. Governments worldwide—including the United States—depend on these satellites for remote communications, military operations, and internet access. It appears Russia may be developing a new strategy to take them down.


NATO intelligence findings reviewed by the Associated Press suggest Russia is developing a weapon that would target Starlinks with destructive orbiting clouds of shrapnel. The “zone-effect” weapon would flood their orbits with hundreds of thousands of high-density pellets to disable multiple satellites at once, the AP reports.

Just based on that report, the list of people/groups/nations that might have killed him is long.
  • Chechens
  • Ukraine
  • Syrians
  • Sunnis (lots of Chechens are Sunni)
  • Shias (he helped Syria under Assad; whose regime was tight with Iran)
  • Russians
  • And, when someone prominent dies in Russia, the Occam’s Razor choice is Vladimir Putin.
 
Based on what I have digested over the past several weeks, would not surprise me if Europe/NATO and Russia are in armed conflict sometime next year.
Finland recently announced the age limit for reservists has been upped to 65.
Certainly seems as if European countries are gearing up for something.

As George W. Bush used to say: "it would be prudent" for them to do that since they sure can't depend on Trump. But it also seems to be true there is a great deal of Russian sabotage going on in Europe so maybe they think something is coming. Doubt it. Russia has proven its military is not very good.
 
Its a little dismaying that Zelensky keeps trying to find creative ways to negotiate peace giveaways to Putin. That's one way to think about his "economic zone" pullback idea. Hopefully, its just about keeping Trump harassing Putin about making peace.

George H.W. Bush, not Dubya.
