A top US general has revealed that China is actively testing experimental satellites designed for in-space “dogfighting,” raising concerns about the militarization of space.

This revelation highlights growing anxieties within the US military regarding China’s rapidly advancing space capabilities and their potential application in future conflicts.

The specific details of these “dogfighting” satellites remain classified, but the announcement signals a significant shift in the perceived threat level posed by China’s space program.

These developments arrive amid increasing global competition in space, with nations vying for dominance in areas ranging from satellite communications to resource exploitation.

The US military is closely monitoring China’s activities and adapting its own space strategies to maintain a competitive edge in this increasingly vital domain.
