Space race 2.0: China is building weapons to attack U.S. ‘ground, sea, or air targets from orbit’

China is rapidly building a large force of space weapons, including sophisticated anti-satellite missiles, lasers, jammers, orbiting killer robots and cybertools, to “blind and deafen” a war enemy, the U.S. military is warning.

The Pentagon released details of Beijing’s growing space arms arsenal last week in its annual report to Congress on the Chinese military.

“The [People’s Liberation Army] continues to acquire and develop a range of counter-space capabilities and related technologies, including kinetic-kill missiles, ground-based lasers, and orbiting space robots, as well as expanding space surveillance capabilities, which can monitor objects in space within their field of view and enable counter-space actions,” the 195-page report states.


The report said Chinese space forces and related support elements continue to “mature rapidly.”

The Pentagon report, based on Defense Intelligence Agency information, discloses for the first time that China is working on space-based weapons capable of attacking enemy targets on Earth’s surface.

“Since at least 2006, the government-affiliated academic community in China began investigating aerospace engineering aspects associated with space-based kinetic weapons — generally a class of weapon used to attack ground, sea, or air targets from orbit,” the report said.

Firing weapons from space is technologically difficult because of the challenges of distance and atmospheric reentry. Research on such arms includes studies on methods of reentry, separation of payload, delivery vehicles, and transfer orbits for targeting.

The research appears to be behind China’s unprecedented test in July 2021 of a “fractional orbital bombardment system,” or FOBS. The test involved the launch of an ICBM with a hypersonic glide vehicle from China that traveled about 24,800 miles and was in space for more than 100 minutes.

The report called the FOBS test the longest of any Chinese land attack weapons system to date.

The Soviet Union researched a FOBS strike weapon in the 1980s, but the United States has no similar strategic weapons system.

The U.S. Space Force is said to be developing counterspace weapons, but all the force’s work on space warfare tools is classified.

Michael J. Listner, a space expert with Space Law & Policy Solutions, said the Pentagon report highlights the PLA’s space weapons use in a conflict but fails to consider that the same space warfare tools could be used preemptively to cripple the U.S. military before a larger offensive.

“Crippling U.S. space assets would be a logical move on the part of the PLA, given their view of deterrence is preemptive in nature and designed to escalate a situation to the point of dissuading an adversary from further escalating the scope of a conflict,” Mr. Listner said.

China’s military has deployed a missile system that can hit all satellites passing in low-Earth orbit, about 1,200 miles or lower in space. PLA war games regularly use the ground-launched missiles in anti-satellite training exercises.

The Chinese military is also working on missiles that can attack strategic satellites in geosynchronous orbit. Most military and intelligence satellites orbit 22,236 miles above Earth.

The report noted China’s destructive missile test against a Chinese weather satellite in 2007. That test generated more than 3,000 pieces of dangerous debris. A total of 2,700 pieces remain and will continue orbiting for decades, the report said.
China launched an object into space in 2013 on a ballistic trajectory with a peak orbit above 18,600 miles — near geosynchronous orbit.

“No new satellites were released from the object, and the launch profile was inconsistent with traditional [space launchers], ballistic missiles, or sounding rocket launches for scientific research, suggesting a basic capability could exist to use ASAT technology against satellites at great distances and not just LEO,” the report said.

China’s military also is building sophisticated space-based robots for satellite inspection and repair that also can attack satellites.

Last year, the PLA launched multiple satellites for space maintenance and debris cleanup. The Shijian-21 was sent into geosynchronous orbit in January and moved a defunct BeiDou navigation satellite “to a high graveyard orbit above GEO,” the report said.

The PLA also launched a maneuvering satellite with a robotic arm that the report said could be used to grab orbiting satellites and destroy or damage them.

Surveillance system

China also has established a system of sensors that can search, track and target satellites. The telescopes, radars and other sensors can be used to target anti-satellite missiles or guide killer satellites.

Another key element of the PLA space warfare arsenal is electronic warfare weapons.

PLA exercises routinely include the jamming of multiple types of space-based communications, radar systems and GPS navigation that are key to U.S. military movements and precision-guided weapons.

For the past 20 years, the PLA has been developing and fielding directed energy weapons, such as lasers that can dazzle or destroy electro-optical satellites.

“China has multiple ground-based laser weapons of varying power levels to disrupt, degrade, or damage satellites that include a current limited capability to employ laser systems against satellite sensors,” the report said.

More sophisticated lasers are being developed.

“By the mid- to late-2020s, China may field higher power systems that extend the threat to the structures of non-optical satellites,” the report said.

“The PLA expects space to play an important role in future conflicts by enabling long-range precision strikes and in denying other militaries the use of overhead command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems,” the report said.

The PLA has no independent force similar to the U.S. Space Force, but the new Strategic Support Force, a service-level component, oversees all PLA space operations in addition to electronic and cyber warfare. The Pentagon report includes a map of China that identifies six Strategic Support Force space warfare bases across the country and a headquarters in Beijing.

The Strategic Support Force also runs tracking, telemetry and command stations in several locations worldwide to track ships.

The PLA’s space warfare capabilities are regarded as part of a suite of niche weapons that will assist in fighting and winning a war against a “strong enemy,” a euphemism for the United States.

The weapons are designed to prevent the United States from using space, a key strategic advantage for the military, during a crisis or conflict.

OPEC+ to consider deeper oil output cuts ahead of Russia sanctions and proposed price cut
OPEC+, a group of 23 oil-producing nations led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, will convene on Sunday to decide on the next phase of production policy.
The highly anticipated meeting comes ahead of potentially disruptive sanctions on Russian oil, weakening crude demand in China and mounting fears of a recession.

OPEC+, a group of 23 oil-producing nations led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, will convene on Sunday to decide on the next phase of production policy.

OPEC and non-OPEC oil producers could impose deeper oil output cuts on Sunday, energy analysts said, as the influential energy alliance weighs the impact of a pending ban on Russia's crude exports and a possible price cap on Russian oil.

Claudio Galimberti, senior vice president of analysis at energy consultancy Rystad, told CNBC from OPEC's headquarters in Vienna, Austria, that he believes the group "would be better off to stay the course" and roll over existing production policy.

"OPEC+ has been rumored to consider a cut on the basis of demand weakness, specifically in China, over the past few days. Yet, China's traffic nationwide is not down dramatically," Galimberti said.

Energy market participants remain wary about the European Union's sanctions on the purchases of the Kremlin's seaborne crude exports on Dec. 5, while the prospect of a G-7 price cap on Russian oil is another source of uncertainty.

The 27-nation EU bloc agreed in June to ban the purchase of Russian seaborne crude from Dec. 5 as part of a concerted effort to curtail the Kremlin's war chest following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

Concern that an outright ban on Russian crude imports could send oil prices soaring, however, prompted the G-7 to consider a price cap on the amount it will pay for Russian oil.

No formal agreement has yet been reached, although Reuters reported Thursday that EU governments had tentatively agreed to a $60 barrel price cap on Russian seaborne oil.

"The other factor OPEC will need to consider is indeed the price cap," Galimberti said. "It's still up in the air, and this adds to the uncertainty."

The Kremlin has previously warned that any attempt to impose a price cap on Russian oil will cause more harm than good.

'So much uncertainty'
OPEC+ agreed in early October to reduce production by 2 million barrels per day from November. It came despite calls from the U.S. for OPEC+ to pump more to lower fuel prices and help the global economy.

The energy alliance recently hinted it could impose deeper output cuts to spur a recovery in crude prices. This signal came despite a report from The Wall Street Journal suggesting an output increase of 500,000 barrels per day was under discussion for Sunday.

Speaking earlier this week, RBC Capital Markets' Helima Croft said there was no expectation of a production increase from the upcoming OPEC+ meeting and a "significant chance" of a deeper output cut.

"There is so much uncertainty," Croft told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Tuesday. OPEC delegates "have to factor in what happens with China but also what happens with Russian production."

However, after news that Sunday's meeting will be held virtually, rather than in-person, Croft said in a research

Ukraine can win individual battles but is losing the war , says Colonel Markus Reisner of the Austrian General Staff Academy:

"We are following the Russian initiative," says the Austrian military officer, "which Russia owns on a strategic level." The West is trying to keep up with its moves in terms of "strategic exhaustion" month after month. 

Ukraine's successes on the strategic level are being completely destroyed by Russia. "For example, Ukraine has entered Kherson but sits there in the dark because the entire infrastructure there has been destroyed."

Tough battles on the front near Svatovo-Kreminna: the enemy tries to break through the front but dies under fire from the Russian army
Svatovo-Kreminna defensive operation. Combat summary for two days.
▪️The breakthrough near Kremenna is not confirmed from the ground. There have been several attempted attacks, all detached by the massive fire of Group O artillery brigades.
▪️3 company tactical groups of the AFU advanced to attack Chervonopopivka. The enemy's plan is uncovered in time by Special Forces, hit by howitzers and MLRS while being corrected by drones. The enemy is dispersed and pushed back to their original positions.
▪️One of the torture attacks was from the direction of Stelmakhovka, also foiled by fire
During the day's fighting in the area, up to 100 Ukrainian fighters, two tanks, two armoured combat vehicles, and 2 pick-up trucks were destroyed and wounded; 11 AFU fighters surrendered.
▪️ The Ukrainian armed forces have been attacking in the direction of Kuzemivka LNR for several days now. A day ago, active action by the Russian Armed Forces and artillery fire drove them back to their initial positions with significant losses in manpower and equipment. Then on Friday, they attacked again in the direction of Kuzemivka, losing up to 60 fighters, two tanks, a BMP, 3 APCs, and four pick-up trucks.
▪️The enemy also struck Svatovo with a pack of Grad MLRSs, followed by artillery strikes at the identified coordinates, destroying enemy MLRSs.
▪️ In the Kupyansk direction, the Ukrainian armed forces attacked from the area of Kotlyarovka in Kharkiv Oblast. Over 50 Ukrainian fighters, two tanks, 4 BMPs, and 2 Kozak armored vehicles were destroyed.

Five Georgian mercenaries have been liquidated in Bakhmut. And there will be more, because there are many Georgian Legion fighters exactly in Bakhmut. There are, in principle, a lot of mercenaries there. So after the capture of Bakhmut, the number of foreigners in the AFU will certainly decrease. 

The names of the dead Georgian mercenaries in Bakhmut have emerged:
1. Avto Rurua
2. Romeo Pichkhaya.
3. Romeo Kvaratskhelia
4. Badri Markelia
5. Merab Aladashvili
It is reported that they were killed by the Chechen fighters. Apart from these five, two more men were severely injured.

Overhype American missile,game changer indeed!

Donbas is Russia

This is another evidence that Russia is playing with Ukraine bcs how come can a country in a brutal war Can still be producing new and advance military software and hardwares Even military satellites

You said Russian don upgrade I laugh, the same Russian army performing badly in Ukraine. Against a Ukrainian army still using Soviet era jets, Soviet era artillery, Soviet era tanks..
Dude Finland has been a NATO partner for year's before they officially join this year, Finland is a proper westner armed county

We are in the 20th century yet Russia still thinks war is won by rolling tanks..Putin thinks it ww2, thank god he withdrew his forces of Kiev after been thought a lifetime lessons by the javelin anti tank missile

the generation that fought the winter war has gone evendo they were defeated by red army
During that time tanks can't fight well during winter even radar or GPS guarded missile bcs of unclear weather
But now Russia don upgrade everything

��EU officials said the bloc can’t confiscate tens of billions of euros worth of frozen Russian central-bank funds to pay for Ukraine’s reconstruction.

European Commission officials said that because of the international principle of state immunity, they were unable to confiscate central-bank assets, but were now proposing that member states and their international partners establish a fund to manage the liquid assets and set aside profits from those investments for Ukraine’s rebuilding plans.

The U.S. is facing its own challenges in trying to reappropriate frozen Russian funds to finance Ukraine’s war effort and eventual rebuilding

With the war dragging on and the costs of war damage to Ukraine reaching $600 billion, Western officials have been exploring ways to raise funding for Ukraine

Weapons supplied to ��Ukraine spotted in Africa, Daily Trust reports

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has said weapons from Ukraine are now entering the Lake Chad Basin region.

In his opening remarks at the 16th Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Lake Chad Basin Commission, held at the conference hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Buhari, who also chairs the summit, said the situation, which has increased the spread of small arms and light weapons, requires the revival of border security in the region.

The situation in the Sahel and the conflict in Ukraine serve as major sources of arms and fighters joining the ranks of terrorists in the Lake Chad region. Much of the weapons and ammunition procured for the war in Libya continue to flow into the Lake Chad region and other parts of the Sahel. Weapons supplied to Ukraine are also beginning to make their way into the region.

"This illegal movement of weapons into the region has increased the proliferation of small arms and light weapons that continue to threaten our collective peace and security in the region," Buhari stressed.

������The war in Ukraine may drag on for years, and a complete victory for Kiev is unlikely. Foreign Policy magazine wrote about it, analysing statements made by "some US officials."

The author of the article, Stephen Walt, a professor of international relations at Harvard University, believes that the Biden administration may find itself "in an awkward position" on the Ukraine issue. 

"On the one hand, it is publicly committed to winning the war and hopes that US soldiers will not be involved in hostilities, but the entire national security establishment is helping Ukraine in many ways."

"On the other hand, the administration also seems to be aware of the risks of escalation, does not want to get involved in a war with Russia, and some US officials seem to believe that a complete Ukrainian victory is unlikely," writes Walt.

"What if the war does indeed end in a messy and frustrating compromise rather than the happy Hollywood ending most of the world would like to see?" "Despite the progress Ukraine has made in recent months, such an unsatisfactory outcome may still be the most likely," the author suggests. 

It will become increasingly difficult for the White House to present the war in Ukraine as a "success story" if "Russia continues to control a large part of Ukrainian territory, Ukraine suffers further damage in the meantime, and Putin continues to rule in Moscow," Walt believes.

Europe, on the other hand, will have to "absorb another flood of refugees and endure severe economic hardship." Under these circumstances, it will be difficult for the White House to get out of the conflict. 

"Even if there is no plausible path to victory, the desire to avoid accusations that they have not done enough encourages them to escalate the situation in some way... "That's how the US ended up in Afghanistan for almost two decades," Walt writes.

But this path in the case of Ukraine he considers a dead end: "It may simply prolong the war needlessly, increase the suffering of Ukrainians, and eventually lead Russia to an escalation or even the use of nuclear weapons."
