Friend and/or Foe - can both be true at the same time?
Investigative journalists in Europe suggest China and Russia have been discussing ways and means to blunt StarLink.
Reporting indicates China presented a 3-tier plan to the Russians > 1) diplomatic pressure, 2) electronic jamming cyberattacks, and 3) physical destruction of StarLink satellites.
Media reports in China suggest the country has built a ground-based microwave weapon capable of targeting satellites in low earth orbits.
This could present quite a sticky wicket for E. Musk and Tesla in particular.
Tesla, relies heavily on China as a manufacturing base, and is a huge sales market, not to mention is a key part of Tesla's battery supply chain. Combine all that with the U.S. Gov's velvet glove approach to China (not to mention Russia) makes for an interesting situation. https://www.techradar.com/pro/china-and-russia-have-a-secret-no-limit-pact-to-eliminate-elon-musks-starlink-at-all-cost-researchers-claim #StarLink #Tesla #China #Russia #Jamming #CyberWarfare #PhysicalWarfare #CyberAttack #Satellites #LEO #Space #USGov
