NATO Warns of Russian Anti-Satellite Weapon Targeting Starlink

NATO intelligence services suspect Russia is developing a new weapon to target Elon Musk's Starlink satellites.

This weapon, called a 'zone-effect' weapon, would release tiny pellets into space to disable multiple satellites at once.

However, this could also cause a lot of debris and damage other satellites, including Russia's own.

Some experts doubt this weapon would work well or that Russia would use it because it could harm their own space systems.

Russia has not commented on these claims but has said it does not have nuclear space weapons.

Starlink satellites are very important for Ukraine's military and communications, which is why Russia sees them as a threat.

Elon Musk has stated that Starlink will never turn off its terminals and will not be used as a bargaining chip, despite previous incidents where Starlink services were temporarily shut down.
