China's 'Invisible Hunter' Threatens US, Starlink: A New Era of Space Warfare

• China claims to have developed an 'Invisible Hunter' anti-satellite weapon, a High-Power Microwave (HPM) system, capable of destroying satellites without missiles or bombs.
• The weapon, called TPG1000Cs, is a compact driver delivering up to 20 gigawatts of power, significantly more powerful and compact than previous systems.
• Beijing fears Starlink satellites could aid the US and allies in a Taiwan conflict, making them a primary target for this 'Starlink Killer' technology.
• The HPM weapon can disrupt or deactivate Elon Musk's Starlink network, posing a new challenge for space security as it leaves no debris and makes attribution difficult.
• Its compact design allows deployment from various platforms, including land, sea, air, and potentially space, making it a versatile and dangerous tool.
