China, Russia deploying space weapons to attack U.S. satellites, forces warns Space Force Gen. B. Chance Saltzman
Protecting satellites from orbiting killer robots that can grapple satellites is more complicated.
“With regards to grappling satellites and pulling them out of orbit, [that is] much tougher to deal with when you have less-than-maneuverable, older legacy satellites,” Gen.Moving to numerous, lower-orbit satellites, makes it more difficult for Chinese or Russian killer robots in space to go after “big juicy” older, high-altitude satellites, he said.
Ukraine’s use of large numbers of Starlink satellites for communications “is turning out to be a much tougher target” for Russian efforts to attack military communications networks, he said.said another area of concern is the vulnerability of satellite ground-control stations to sophisticated cyberattacks from either the Chinese or the Russians.
“The fact that we have to defend against cyber-attacks against ground networks reminds us that ground is also a part of space,” he said, describing
