The next target: “Starlink”.



Intelligence warns: Russia plans to make an anti-satellite weapon that could destroy Starlink satellites. Starlink plays a vital role in Ukrainian defense. And it can also provide support for drone control applications. The Starlink system and modems are tools. That can make the long-range drone operations possible. Theoretically, jamming the drone control is quite an easy thing. But. The jammer system sends radio waves. That makes it a target for the anti-radiation missile systems. A large-sized kamikaze drone can carry those anti-radiation missiles, or a long-range drone. It is easy to transform. Into the anti-radiation missile or kamikaze drone. The system must only know the control signal frequency of the drone. 

Then the attacker shoots the anti-radiation missiles or drones before the main attack swarm. And when those jammers begin their transmission, the anti-radiation systems can attack them. Another way is to ionize air. That denies. Also, their own side radars. To see targets. That ion layer also denies radio-based communication in that area. 


But then, to the anti-satellite weapons. The GPS, radar, and communication satellites send radio waves. That makes them easy targets for the big anti-radiation missiles. 


Basically, those weapons are quite easy to develop. The missile can use the radio signals from the communication satellite to seek and home in on the target. The missile can be basically similar to a regular anti-radiation missile. But its booster might be far bigger and stronger. The booster system can be similarly used in RT-2PM2 Topol-M and RS-26 Yars missiles. The system can raise the homing system over the atmosphere. Then the homing system. That can be a higher maneuverable version of the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal missile. Starts to track targeted satellites.  

Or the MiG-31 can raise that weapon to the edge of the atmosphere. If that ASAT missile is bigger. The Tu-22M “Backfire” can act as a launching platform.  Anti-satellite missiles. Ground and space-based laser systems are a logical continuum. For the military systems. When we think about those massive anti-radiation missiles. Those systems can make it possible. To attack ABM radars and other strategic defense systems. The satellite-killers that can destroy intelligence,  communication, and GPS satellites. 

Can change the game. In the military world. The mobile ICBM. It can turn into an anti-satellite platform. Very easily. The small neutron-bomb-based nuclear option can be installed in a satellite or sub-orbital satellite that flies in the ionosphere. When that killer satellite explodes, it makes the EMP pulse that destroys other satellites above it. The orbital killer satellite that uses an internal nuclear or conventional detonator is as easy to detonate as a car bomb. The detonation signal can come to other aircraft, a ground station, or a ship. 

That allows. To detonate that system in a desired position. The E-bomb or EMP bomb can also be installed in the ASAT weapons. There are two versions of the EMP-bomb. The conventional system. This uses explosive pressure to give a high-power electric load to the battery. Then that electricity will be transmitted into the microwave system. That sends it into the target. In the nuclear option, the nuclear explosive makes that EMP impulse. 

The benefit of the EMP weapons is that.  It leaves the targeted satellite. In one piece. The problem with kinetic energy ASAT systems, along with high-power laser beams, is that. They break the satellite into small pieces that occupy the trajectory. The high-power EMP system can basically. Be a radio system. That sends high-power, coherent radio waves into targeted satellites. This system destroys the satellite's main computers.
