China Develops Strategy to Attack Starlink Satellites

Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) scientists have conducted a study outlining how submarines with laser weapons could potentially disable SpaceX's Starlink satellites if China's security were threatened. The research, led by Wang Dan from the Naval Submarine Academy, suggests that these submarines could be mass-produced and stationed in oceans to counter military threats. The primary challenge highlighted was not hitting the satellites but concealing the attack, with surface-to-air missiles posing issues in terms of stealth and concealment. This development showcases China's defense ambitions and advancements in laser weapon technology, with potential implications for satellite warfare and national security.
