China, Russia exploring capabilities to target Musk’s Starlink satellite network

China and Russia are reportedly seeking the capability to
disable and eventually destroy Starlink as part of expanding
military cooperation, according to an investigation by The Insider,
AzerNEWS reports.

The investigation, conducted jointly by The Insider, Der Spiegel
and Le Monde, alleges that the two countries are developing
technologies aimed at countering the satellite internet network,
including Starlink-specific malware and electronic jamming
systems.

According to the report, the cooperation reflects a broader
military partnership under which Russia is providing battlefield
experience from its war in Ukraine in exchange for Chinese
technology, enabling Moscow to improve its ability to counter
Ukrainian drone operations that rely heavily on Starlink
communications.

The investigation also claims the partnership is intended to
develop weapons systems that neither country could create
independently, including capabilities that could eventually
threaten the physical integrity of the Starlink satellite
constellation.

The report says Russian forces have increasingly deployed
powerful electronic warfare systems to jam Starlink signals used by
Ukrainian forces on the battlefield.

The findings could further complicate relations between China
and Europe, as Beijing has consistently denied providing military
assistance to Russia during the war in Ukraine.

The allegations have not been independently verified.
