Original: Starlink peut-il finir en épave orbitale ? # Starlink # Russie # SatellitesMilitaires # GuerreSpatiale # Espace # Défens
Commentators are asking whether Russia could target or disable Starlink satellites, raising the prospect of the constellation becoming so much orbital wreckage. The discussion ties Starlink's role in Ukraine's communications and battlefield connectivity to growing concerns about warfare extending into space, with military satellites and anti-satellite capabilities at the center of the debate.
Why now: Ongoing war in Ukraine and rising talk of anti-satellite weapons have put Starlink's vulnerability in space back into focus.
