https://www.theguardian.com/science/ng-interactive/2026/nov/08/ukraine-space-critical-war-starlink>“Since the war the space domain has been crucial for Ukrainian forces and that has been underlined by recent events – whether at the instigation of the US government or from SpaceX – where we saw communications drop and jeopardise our military’s command-and-control systems.>“Now we need to raise it to another level, not least because the enemy is already threatening Ukrainian territory from international space via Oreshnik missiles. It’s essential we’re not shortsighted about this risk.”>With Russian launch sites now beyond the range of Ukraine’s longest-range missiles, Ukraine has instead conducted three tests on exo-atmospheric kill systems to intercept launches in near space, including launches of weapons piggybacked on very high-flying aircraft.>“It is a priority,” said Venislavskyi. “We’ve already demonstrated launches of exo-atmospheric systems and we are working to see if we can get that in production.” However, he admitted, given the huge demands of the war, funding would be a significant issue.>In the meantime, the new race for space continues.

>>65641132It would be more practical to do something akin to this in regard to the puccian rassvet sats. And it still would not be a particularly practical course of action.
>It is the year 2426>The neo-soviet fringe systems started their "demilitarization campaign" of the Ukrainian Star Federation.
>>65642324I mean, if we're already putting stuff in space, could we grab Rassvet in a giant net and THROW IT TO THE GROOOUNND?
>>65641132so has musk returned starlink to normal for ukraine or does he really want to get dragged over the coals by congress and have his government contracts cancelled?
>>65642421Yeah it's restored but the damage is done, it's never getting any more foreign government contracts unless he leaves the company
>>65641132a weapon to surpass metal gear...salo gear...
>>65642421it's not restored to normal AFAIK

>>65641132Day 1720 of the Special Military Operation to demilitarize Ukraine: Ukraine is now building unprecented exoatmospheric weapon systems
>>65642528Thats some wishful thinking, everyone says NEVER AGAIN then they go back to the best dealer after a while. Russia wouldn't have profited from Europe for so long if people learned their lesson. If the war ever ends i see Euro governments inmediately cutting deals with Russian aerospace, nevermind Musk.
Mail them the rest of AeroJet Rockdynes NK-33s pronto
