Wall Street Journal: Pentagon Prepares for Space Warfare as Potential Threats From China, Russia Grow
White House’s spending request includes plans for simulators, equipment to train Space Force members for battle
The Pentagon is gearing up for a future conflict in space as China and Russia deploy missiles and lasers that can take out satellites and disrupt military and civilian communications.
The U.S. military long ago dropped the notion of crewed, orbiting space weapons in favor of satellites because the logistics of supporting people outside of Earth’s atmosphere were formidable.
The physics of space also make it impossible to sneak up on an enemy or quickly change orbit or direction. And earthbound tactics don’t work in space, where the U.S., China and Russia are all turning to satellites and sensors to wage and win any conflict.
“You can’t dig trenches in space,” said Marty Whelan, senior vice president of the Defense Systems Group at The Aerospace Corp., a federally funded research group.
“If deterrence fails, you can’t wait until something bad happens to get ready. You have to have the full infrastructure together,” said Mr. Whelan, a former Air Force major general, who led a strategic review of space systems for the Pentagon and the intelligence community.
The White House this month proposed a $30 billion annual budget for the U.S. Space Force, almost $4 billion more than last year and a bigger jump than for other services including the Air Force and the Navy.

ReplyDeleteBecause if US-UE and their fascists escalate the war and, other than the Bear, provoke the Dragon outside his lair, they have to face a communist army of 150 millions of chinese soldiers, plus 10 millions of others far east, plus at least 20 millions of antifa volounteers around the rest of the world.
And if you think nuclear attack can stop us, you think wrong. Betrayal and brutality can only make us more angered and determined to wipe out every sign of capitalism, to reborn a new peace from ashes.
In a world almost four times more populated, against another capitalist World War, communists react with a force eight and more greater in size than the past, equal in tecnology and triple in resources.
And this time we will not stop to Berlin. This time we arrive to Washington.
Prepare for the trouble, make it double!
Young communist,
