Russia is preparing for war in space. At least that's what two Western intelligence services warn, according to which Moscow is developing a new military attack system aimed at hitting satellites in orbit, especially those of the Starlink network, owned by Elon Musk's company.

According to these sources, the Russian project is based on the creation of a “cloud” of microprojectiles, capable of destroying or disabling various types of satellites. Such a weapon, if it were to be realized and put into operation, would be decisive in the military confrontation with the West, since today almost all modern defense systems rely on satellite guidance. Through them, missiles are guided and networks are built to detect and intercept enemy attacks.

In Ukraine, for example, one of the main contributions of the United States has been precisely satellite-based logistical assistance, which has played a key role in military operations on the ground.

If confirmed, this would be a further step in the escalation of the Kremlin's military challenge: a race to space that, unlike that of the 1960s, is not about exploration, but about military dominance beyond the Earth's atmosphere. Not coincidentally, NATO has also adopted a "space strategy" since 2019, considering space a new arena of conflict. Controlling the Earth from above means strategic advantage.

However, experts from the Atlantic Alliance remain divided. Some doubt that Russia has actually managed to design such a weapon, since the risk that the “cloud” of microprojectiles could indiscriminately hit satellites of friendly countries, including China, remains very high. Others, such as General Christopher Horner, commander of the Canadian army’s space division, do not rule out the possibility that Russian technology has reached this level, and even warn that Moscow may be working on a nuclear weapon in space.

According to the Western intelligence report, the scenario envisages the launch into orbit of small satellites capable of delivering microprojectiles just a few millimeters in size, practically invisible to current surveillance systems. The model is compared to drones carrying smaller drones inside them, which are launched at the right moment. Analysts, however, remain skeptical about the control of the trajectory of these debris, which could collide indiscriminately with other satellites.

Russia has previously developed missile programs to strike objects in space, so it is not excluded that such a study is actually in development. But for now, doubts about the effectiveness of this weapon remain great. What seems clear is that the new front of the war has shifted far above, among the stars.
