China, Russia Plan Starlink Takedown
Leaked documents reveal a possible secret military plan between Russia and China to disable Starlink
China and Russia are reportedly planning a joint military operation to disable Starlink, a satellite internet constellation developed by SpaceX, according to leaked documents obtained by United24Media. The documents suggest that the two nations are working together to develop a strategy to take down the satellite system, which has been used to provide internet access to Ukraine and other countries. This development comes as China's President Xi Jinping has been working to rebuild his country's military, promoting two military officers to the rank of general on Friday, as reported by Reuters.
The planned takedown of Starlink is likely a response to the system's use in supporting Ukrainian forces in their conflict with Russia, as well as its potential to be used in other conflicts, such as the ongoing war in Myanmar. The situation in Myanmar has been deteriorating, with reports of human rights abuses and escalating violence. Similarly, in the Sahel region, Russia has been strengthening its ties with local governments, as reported in Russia, Sahel Strengthen Ties, which could potentially lead to further conflict in the region.
China's military modernization efforts have been ongoing, with the country displaying a high-power microwave weapon system during the Victory Day parade in Beijing on September 3, 2025, as reported by the South China Morning Post. This technology could potentially be used to disable Starlink satellites. The planned takedown of Starlink is a significant development in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and could have implications for the use of satellite technology in future conflicts. The situation in Sudan, where war crimes have been reported, as detailed in Sudan War Crimes, is also being closely watched, as the international community considers how to respond to the crisis.
The leaked documents suggest that China and Russia are working together to develop a comprehensive plan to disable Starlink, which could involve a combination of cyber attacks, electronic warfare, and kinetic strikes. The plan is reportedly being developed in response to the use of Starlink by Ukrainian forces, which has allowed them to maintain communication and coordination despite Russian attempts to disrupt their command and control systems. As the situation continues to unfold, it is likely that the international community will be watching closely, with many turning to CNN for updates on the latest developments in the region.
