US and Israel race to develop space weapons
Original: US, Israel space weapons race: Satellite-disabling tech vs. space lasers
A report from The Jerusalem Post describes an emerging space weapons race involving the United States and Israel, focusing on two technologies: satellite-disabling systems capable of knocking out enemy communications in orbit, and space-based lasers. The development highlights how military competition is extending beyond Earth as major powers invest in capabilities to attack or defend satellites, which are critical infrastructure for navigation, communications and warfare.
Why now: Rising geopolitical tensions and growing military investment in space are putting orbital weapons technology in the news.
