Global Powers Develop Military Capabilities for Future Space-Based Warfare
Major global powers including the US, Russia, and China are advancing military capabilities in space, recognizing it as a critical domain for future warfare. Satellites now support essential military functions such as communications, navigation, and surveillance, with conflicts like Russia-Ukraine highlighting space-based technologies' strategic roles. Chinese research warns of potential military competition in cislunar space between Earth and the Moon, where control over spacecraft movement could offer strategic advantages beyond direct destruction. These developments signal a shift toward space as a central battlefield in modern conflicts.
