Chinese scientists have developed a ground based microwave weapon capable of disabling low-Earth orbit satellites, SCMP reports. The TPG1000Cs system can emit 20-gigawatt pulses, potentially disrupting or damaging constellations like Starlink.

Ukraine’s energy minister has warned that scheduled power cuts may intensify in the coming days, even as 200 emergency crews race to restore heating in the capital. Amid freezing temperatures and mounting hardship, a local pop star has drawn attention by using humor and music to lift spirits, but it hasn’t gone as planned... Kyiv correspondent Gulliver Cragg reports.

#Russia #Gubarev posted probably the most detailed description of the #Starlink shutdown for Russian troops on the front line:
Our comrades-in-arms on the front line report that the StarLink terminals have gone dark.
Now we will be at a disadvantage in terms of decision-making speed and situational awareness. This is called technological backwardness.
If the internet on Gazprom’s satellite dishes is working poorly at key communication nodes and command posts, then UAVs, electronic reconnaissance/electronic warfare, firepower and infantry positions are now without internet. This means that there will be no broadcasts, no battlefield imagery, etc.
Now, no matter how ingenious the decisions made by local commanders may be, we will simply lose in terms of the speed of decision-making and implementation on the battlefield.
It’s like putting Schumacher behind the wheel of a Lada and an ordinary driver behind the wheel of a Ferrari. Schumacher will lose the race in any case, because the technological base is different, no matter what.
No alternative domestic systems for operational data exchange have been created.

"Without the treaty, each side will be free to upload hundreds of additional warheads onto their deployed missiles & heavy bombers, roughly doubling the sizes of their currently deployed arsenals in the most maximalist scenario," he said.
#Trump has given different signals on arms control. He said last month that if the treaty expired, he would reach a “better” agreement [whatever that means. He said he’d come up with a better health plan than the ACA too].
New #ArmsRace looms as clock ticks down on last #Russia - #US #nuclear treaty
The last nuclear treaty between Russia & the US is due to expire within hours, raising the risk of a new arms race in which #China will also play a key role.
The web of #arms control deals negotiated in the decades since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, considered the closest the world ever came to intentional #NuclearWar, was aimed at reducing the chance of a catastrophic nuclear exchange.
As #treaty expires, #Russia says it's still ready to talk to #US on #nuclear limits
Russia said on Thursday it regretted the expiry of its last remaining #NuclearArms treaty with the United States but was still ready to talk, raising the possibility of a last-minute deal to preserve limits on deployment of the world's deadliest weapons.

#Trump has not formally responded to a proposal from Russian President Vladimir #Putin to keep observing key terms of the #NewSTART treaty for one more year, even though there is no legal option to extend the full treaty.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said #Russia was still ready to engage in dialogue with the #US if Washington responded constructively to Putin's proposal.
