After the aircraft carrier killer, China has developed the Starlink killer.
According to a report by "EADaily" on February 5, China has developed the world's first microwave weapon capable of interfering with low Earth orbit satellites (including Starlink). This weapon is codenamed
TPG1000Cs, and its disruptive nature lies in the fact that it no longer relies on expensive intercept missiles to make a losing exchange with cheap satellites, but instead uses a nearly unlimited ammunition supply to deal with swarms of satellites.
For a long time, low-orbit mega-constellations represented by Starlink have been regarded by the US military as the information lifeline of future wars. They believe that as long as the number of satellites is sufficient, they can offset the opponent's anti-satellite capabilities through a saturation survival strategy. The Pentagon even fantasizes that this asymmetrical cost advantage will put China's air defense and missile defense systems in an awkward position where they can't afford to engage. However, the emergence of TPG1000Cs directly shatters this fantasy. It does not need to launch physical warheads, but instead directly projects high-energy microwaves into space to strike at the speed of light. This technological breakthrough means that at the height of low Earth orbit, the advantage of satellite quantity will no longer be a talisman; no matter how many you deploy, they can be destroyed.
