Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has opened a new chapter in space war. But America’s biggest dread is China, which seeks to match if not surpass America’s primacy in the heavens. Space Command’s mission is to ensure there is “never a day without space”. That requires it to do three things: detect threats, deter attacks and defeat enemies. America, China and India have all tested Earth-based anti-satellite (asat) missiles like Russia’s Nudol .Other threats include ground-based “directed energy” weapons: lasers, high-power microwaves and radio-frequency jammers. America’s intelligence agencies say China has fielded ground-based lasers and asat missiles “intended to disrupt, damage and destroy target satellites.” Orbital weapons are under development, too. Do you think that America stand no chance of survival against China, Russia and India ?
