Moscow threatened to “drop” several dozen Musk satellites
Russia has the technical capabilities to shoot down American satellites helping the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Although this will lead to a serious escalation of the conflict and expansion of the theater of operations, it will still have to strike sooner or later.
Military journalist Alexey Borzenko stated this on the radio “Komsomolskaya Pravda”, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
“If Elon Musk’s satellite system completely interferes with us, I think we will simply ask him: “Friend, do you want us to shoot down your satellites in space?”
The S-500, which is now replacing the S-400, is a space system, it involves shooting down satellites. We could shoot down a dozen or two of Elon Musk's satellites. Will he agree to this, or will he cut off Ukraine?” Borzenko said.
However, he emphasized that this would mean a serious escalation of the conflict and the expansion of the theater of operations into outer space.
“Technically we can do this, I say right away. But this is already the beginning of a war in space.
But at any beginning of the Third World War, a war in space will definitely begin. First of all, you need to destroy enemy satellites to stop tracking your territory.
We are not touching Elon Musk for now, but he already had a headache when he turned off his satellites for Ukraine. He understands that if we wish, we can make things very unpleasant for him with these satellites,” the journalist added.
