TLDR: The purpose and capabilities of the satellites are unknown, but they’re being deployed suspiciously close to US surveillance satellites.

How close though?

[–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Some of them pass within “a few dozen kilometers”, while others are at “a large distance” but are in orbits that could be quickly changed to put them closer.

It's a good thing the US has equipped every satellite with a concealed carry weapon /s

Because of you I imagined a satellite with a small, dedicated hydraulic arm holding a glock.

Maybe satellite location was some of the info Trump sold to the Kremlin.
