    Oooooh that’s interesting!

    And stuff like this is basically impossible to harden, so assuming Ukraine has figured out a reasonably reliable way to route munitions to that area (and similar satellite C2 nexuses elsewhere), they can effectively deny Russia the ability to use much of their space-based assets!

      No it is even worse, russia is using Quantum Physics in their satellites now, the way it works is they build the satellites in pairs and each pair is built at the same time with precisely the same materials and methods. Both satellites are launched into space without being tested or turned on, once in orbit then russia can turn one satellite on and simultaneously determine whether the other satellite they put up is junk or not.
