>surface vs orbit

>Drop bomb from orbit, maybe a special missile if feeling fancy
So what would air to space and viceversa be?
>>
>>65610375
Weak lasers to blind sensors
Missiles and powerful lasers to hard-kill satellites and deflect/destroy incoming projectiles
>>
>>65610375
Really high performance fighters can fire ASAT missiles if need be, but realistically you'd just use ground based lasers to fry solar panels and cameras
>>
Much bigger planes with a mix of air breathing and rocket engines.
>>
>>65610455
perhaps even very high power lasers or microwaves to burn the electronics without causing a kessler syndrome
>>
>>65610375
>So what would air to space and viceversa be?
Lots and lots of SIGINT and microwave cannons.
>>
>>65610847
A satellite without the ability to maneuver is just going to inevitably collide with something, thus spawning a cloud of debris which will further contribute to the cage we're building around ourselves.
>>
>>65613391
>I'm an idiot and don't understand the surface area of a sphere
We would have to launch more material than the earth is actually composed of in order to render orbit useless
>>
>>65610847
>kessler syndrome

Fuck off with your popsci crap.

>I know more than the community of experts dedicated to the field we're discussing
An increasingly more common line as midwits trust said experts less and less.
>>
>>65613566
Still nowhere near enough stuff on orbits to make them unusable if EVERYTHING on them got trashed fucktard.
>>
>>65613566
>These clickbait slop videos for idiots made me really scared and we should all listen to them!!!!!
You should learn how orbits work before you spew bullshit from a guy with duck face thumbnails on YouTube
>>
>>65610375
>So what would air to space be?
maybe some ASAT, but mostly ground based lasers
>and viceversa
Total surveillance, live tracking of everything that flies.
>>
>>65613568
Starlink alone is over 16,000,000# in orbit.
>>
>>65613609
You are useless and emotionally feminine.
>>
>>65613609
I don't even know who the fuck you're referring to.

>1-2 punch of projection and samefag
Ignorant and seething, lol.

99% missiles/stealth/EW/jamming

but the missiles arent limited by having to be aerodynamic so they can do a lot more shit. they will still by cylindrical with a pointed tip for stealth purposes but wont have aerodynamic surfaces
>>
i liked space above and beyond myself for dog fighting and bablyon 5 for space laser beam cannon stuff.

whatever star wars disneys does withthat ryan gosling fighter could have some cool planet side fighting ala top gun but it will probably be all dee space stuff.
>>
>>65613848
And they are small as fuck targets and in self destroying orbits so most debris would burn up as usual.
>>

Chinese J-36 Launching PL-20 at american satelite.

>>65610375
Refueling drones loitering in the mesosphere, run by the spacefags for use by next gen high altitude fighters and bombers under Air Force control.

>Troposphere
>Stratosphere

>Mesophere
>Thermosphere
>Exopsphere

>>65614990
What about Manosphere?
>>
>>65614957
If China is engaging American strategic assets then satellites are the least of their concerns.
>>
>>65615031
Gay, so under the jurisdiction of the Marines.

>kessler syndrome
Literally not even a real thing
