Irgendwie merkwürdig das hier viele "ausschalten" mit "zerstören" gleichstellen.
Aus dem verlinkten artikel:
Some of the communication satellites intended for project GW will be equipped with sensors and other equipment for observation or other purposes, according to Chinese military scientists.
If China were able to use its SSO satellites to track Starlink satellites and gather data about their movements and activities, it could use the information to interfere with or disrupt Starlink’s operations, according to the scientists.
Man muss ja "nur" das signal von starlink mit einem stärkeren überlagern, dann dürfte nichts sinnvolles mehr ankommen, die Idee ist höchstwarscheinlich diese Fähigkeit zu nutzen Starlink über ausgewählten Gebieten einfach nicht mehr verfügbar zu haben, ganz ohne was zu zerstören.
Genau wie sie überwachungssateliten mit lasern temporär blenden:

die technische grundlage zum präzisen orten haben sie bereits geschaffen:

According to CETC deputy manager Sun Rui, the SLC-18 “can detect satellites from a distance and can identify and categorize them to form a radar database that can help other equipment respond accordingly… at the same time, it sends data on the satellites to the command center to assist in decision making.”
Sun noted that the US currently deploys constellations of low-orbit surveillance satellites, meaning that a detection system needs to be able to detect, identify and react quickly. He said that the use of satellite surveillance in modern warfare makes it imperative for militaries to have satellite tracking capabilities over a specific area to avoid detection, engage in deception maneuvers or jam enemy satellites.
