俄罗斯可能正在研制一种空间武器,利用隐蔽的颗粒使Starlink卫星失去功能,冒着巨大的碎片和全球空间安全的危险。
Russia may be developing a space weapon using hidden pellets to disable Starlink satellites, risking massive debris and global space safety.
北约情报来源怀疑俄罗斯正在研制以Elon Musk星际链路网络为目标的天基反卫星武器,向低地球轨道部署无法探测的颗粒,可能同时使数百颗卫星瘫痪。
NATO intelligence sources suspect Russia is developing a space-based anti-satellite weapon targeting Elon Musk’s Starlink network by deploying undetectable pellets into low Earth orbit, potentially disabling hundreds of satellites at once.
所谓的“区效应”武器如果使用,可能会造成广泛的碎片,不仅危及星际链路,而且还危及国际空间站、中国天贡空间站和其他卫星。
The so-called "zone-effect" weapon, if used, could create widespread debris, endangering not only Starlink but also the International Space Station, China’s Tiangong space station, and other satellites.
专家将这一策略描述为“恐怖武器”, 其目的是在没有直接冲突的情况下遏制西方空间主导地位, 尽管其不分青红皂白的性质可能会破坏俄罗斯自己的空间资产。
Experts describe the tactic as a "weapon of fear" meant to deter Western space dominance without direct conflict, though its indiscriminate nature risks damaging Russia’s own space assets.
尽管武器的存在仍未得到核实,其可行性也存在争议,但灾难性轨道碎片的可能性引起了全球对空间军事化的关切。
While the weapon’s existence remains unverified and its feasibility disputed, the potential for catastrophic orbital debris has raised global concerns about the militarization of space.
