Russia developing weapon to hit Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites: report

Intelligence agencies from two NATO countries believe Russia is developing an anti-satellite weapon to target Elon Musk’s Starlink network, according to a new report.

The weapon would fill Starlink orbits with shrapnel and could take out multiple satellites at once, The Associated Press reported on Monday. This could also seriously damage other objects in orbit.

Starlink has for years proven vital to Ukraine on the battlefield, with Kyiv leaning heavily on Starlink internet access for battlefield communications and for controlling its vast drone fleets.
