US EditionChinese Researchers Outline Offensive Tactics Targeting Starlink Satellites
CHINA, JUL 31 – Chinese scientists develop countermeasures including lasers and sabotage against Starlink, which accounts for about two-thirds of active satellites, citing strategic and military concerns.
- Chinese researchers are developing strategies like lasers and sabotage to counter the threat posed by Elon Musk's Starlink communications satellites, which they see as a risk to national security due to its military ties with the U.S.
- Concerns heightened after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which showcased Starlink's military advantages used by Ukraine, leading to increased military interest in its capabilities from China.
- Chinese academics are exploring both countermeasures against Starlink and ways to develop a similar satellite system through their own state-run projects, including the state-owned China SatNet.
- Over 64 papers focused on Starlink were published by Chinese researchers since the invasion, assessing its capabilities and vulnerabilities.
