I read access to starlink is actually one of the biggest advantages Ukraine has over Russia. I also read that Russian attempts to sabotage starlink satellites have been wholly unsuccessful. Do we really have no way to disable satellites?

I'm not Putin btw

How the fuck you want to disable so many satellites?

>I read access to starlink is actually one of the biggest advantages Ukraine has over Russia.
you read dumb shit

You go ahead and try to throw a dart at a dartboard 340 miles away moving at 18,000 MPH. Oh yeah it's in space too so add the difficulty of escaping Earth's gravity well. Shooting down a satellite isn't happening.

>this dude doesnt know about lasers

You can just ask SpaceX to turn them off yes. If you’re a relevant country they’ll listen.

These are the Russians we're talking about. Do you really think they could build one of those?

we know china and russia will start building bombs that will neutralize all satellites in orbit now

sure, why not. CO2 lasers arent super high-tech.

It's probably easier than ICBMs.
Russia likely is capable of doing that but they can't just shot down American satellite like that.
It would be a political nightmare.

Oh and they would have to shot down a lot of them.
Simply not worth the cost.

The only way to kill that many satellites is essentially suicide. The only way to shoot down that many would be triggering kessler syndrome which is guaranteed to kill all your satellites too. Why is it that we as a species ALWAYS need the threat of MAD to not fuck each other over?

Support from NATO in general is

>Do we really have no way to disable satellites?
Easiest way is to tell the thing to switch itself off. All satellites have that capability so they can be shut down properly at the end of their service life (except for the ones in very low orbit, which stop working by burning up).
Satellite owners probably work pretty hard to stop anyone other than their own team from issuing the shutdown order.

Is it really that hard to disrupt starlink? can't you just shoot up a satellite that plays loud music in the middle of their formation?

>I read access to starlink is actually one of the biggest advantages Ukraine has over Russia
false, rocketsimping pedophile.

>I also read that Russian attempts to sabotage starlink satellites have been wholly unsuccessful.
also false. russians have been successfully jamming their satellites.

russians have blown up satellites before, so have americans.

these are low earth orbit satellites, they're so low that they deorbit themselves with the slightest of malfunctions and need to be continually replaced.

>Is it really that hard to disrupt starlink?
all satellites are susceptible to same jamming principles. broadcast signal with double or more of the amount of power than source signal using same frequencies = satellites can't see you. rocket pedophile didn't reinvent the laws of radio . they all work exactly the same.

they tried to jam them
starlinks have a very high resolution antenna (focused on a small area on earth's surface) so only antenna feeds right next to russian jammers are jammed. but most of ukraine gets internet just fine.

the russian jammers are designed with older geostationary sats that have a much lower earth surface resolution. one antenna feed covers dozens\hundreds of km so if you jam it the entire area loses satcom

Yeah, they've shot them down. It's a costly affair. Now try doing it to all 2200 starlink satellites in orbit. If they have some jamming tech it sounds like that's news to the Russians. They're getting their asses handed to them.
