China military must be able to destroy Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites if they threaten national security: Chinese scientists

How Elon Musk’s Starlink Got Battle-Tested in Ukraine

Fast-expanding satellite broadband services are proving decisive during war and other emergencies.

Too many satellites to engage, jam, or disable.

"A combination of soft and hard kill methods should be adopted to make some Starlink satellites lose their functions and destroy the constellation's operating system," the Chinese boffins reportedly said, estimating that data transmission speeds of stealth fighter jets and US military drones could increase by a factor of 100 through a Musk machine connection.

The authors also expressed concern over the ability of Starlink satellites to quickly change orbits via ion thrusters as an offensive move, or for military payloads to be disguised as Starlink machines and sent into orbit undetected.

China needs ability to take out Starlink, say researchers

Paper authors warn Elon Musk's 2,400 machines could be used offensively

The massive Starlink constellation is going to be a huge problem for China in the event of conflict.

1. Too many satellites to engage, jam, or disable.

2. These satellites can maneuver.

3. SpaceX will have the capability to replace potential losses on emergency basis.

This will be interesting.

Uh oh...a way for people to get around the Great Firewall...time for the Party to get real nervous about this security risk.

they pose a much greater threat as physical objects than they do as Internet relays

China, like Muslims, chose self-isolation to avoid any confrontation with the pagans. Just like muslim lands were destroyed, the pagans has their eyes on China. You leave a wound unattended, it becomes tumour. China will reply to christian crusades in its own ways. The current situation will provide China THE RIGHT, which Muslims got after the pagans broke up middle east, and recently invaded in name of WoT. There can not be peaceful co-existence.

How is browsing the web confrontational????

If you yell at a book you are reading...believe it or not the author can't actually hear you...it's only when YOU get up and go to his house and knock on his door...which makes the reader the confrontational one...not the book author.

If you can't keep yourself from running around knocking on doors ...you shouldn't be reading books.

If the purpose of the Great Wall is to keep easily excited people from getting maniacally worked up over everything they read then sure maybe it is a very very good idea.

Does the same rule apply to you? You have average white people believe Putin is bad because he kills people. US, NATO, Israel, India kill people in broad day light and no body gives a f**k. I wonder why that is the case? Why no color revolution in america? The answer is institution of propaganda (Mainstream media, Hollywood, novelists, academia). When that curtain falls, it would a spectacular scene, far more vivid than the fall of Rome.

Because Putin invaded a country that wanted peace whereas the others you've mentioned had war with dictators.

Again I read all sorts of news all day..some crazy and some good.

Unlike some people I don't get into a rabid huff about it.

If you walk into a library there is no requirement that you read a particular book. If you want to go to some particular section where you know the books are going to not be pleasant to read ...then I don't suggest you read them.

Nobody is putting a gun to people's head telling them which books to read when they walk into a library or which websites to go to when their browser starts. It's all up to you...

If you are very weak and can't help yourself in picking up those books I suggest you don't go the the library.

Ah. The illusion of choice.

Yes, arabs who welcomed jews from german concentration camps wanted war.

Who decides which books get into library?

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

Ah. The illusion of choice.

Well isn't that back to the initial issue you had with Starlink?????

I can now see Chinese websites and the Chinese can see others websites...so by logic the choice would be much much much bigger than if the US government or the Chinese government restricted its peoples.

So Starlink should circumvent a coordinated Government's illusion of choice they are falsely presenting to their own people.

But those who want to keep the population duped (and basically sheep) by their narrow choice would be against Starlink.

Typical crusader mentality. Whiteman is always right.
I would be more interested in prosecution of WoT, nuremberg-style. Anything short of fall of berlin is unacceptable.

As for the Chinese, they left gracefully and accepted self-isolation.

Arabs never welcomed us, our conflict with them started before WW2.

China is planning something similar to starlink. It also not something out of this world. The individual satellites can be tracked, jammed and even destroyed. A space based jammer in higher orbit will jam a bunch of these easily.
