Operation Sindoor: India Strikes Terroist Camps Inside Pakitsan

Satellites can come quite closer to each other, some time ago Americans were crying that a Russian satellite came within 10 km of one of their defence satellites. I strongly suspect American X47B spaceplane is some anti satellite weapon which is meant to go close to satellites and use lasers to blind them or even destroy them. It has the capability to change orbits rapidly.
India demonstrated satellite rendezvous with SPADEX. Now we must focus on satellites with lasers to fire at other satellites in close range, as well as ground to space lasers to dazzle satellites.
That depends on the policy makers, what they want out of Pakistan and what should be done with Pakistan. You can also NOT make long term policy because then adversary will come to know about it and prepare for that with the time. It has to very short and arbitrary. And for this, India's conventional power has to be 1.5 times more than what it currently has.
China and US may both wish to suppress the Indian rise independently, but it's crazy to think they are working together. Let's avoid imagining collusions where there are none. We have a very real Axis of Pak/China/Turkey/BD to focus on. And both India and US are aligned that China is the most dangerous enemy #1.
US is our "covert" enemy no. 1. It's a great modern delusion that US is our friend. In fact, far from it! Thankfully GOI is fully aware of the American threat and are treading very carefully in this regard.
And lol at those people shocked at Indian army's revealation about real-time SAT feed given to Pak by China. @_Anonymous_, @randomradio You guys would remember what I said in the China war thread
****Another method could be, to send your own satellite into orbit, with extra propellant, use it to deorbit another sat in similar orbit.
Possible but quite complex, plus expensive.****
Asat missiles are just cheaper.
Especially if smaller ones capable of being carried by fighter jets like su30, f15 are mass produced.
We starting to put a space-based situational awareness system (Digantara SCOT) in place in the near term. Plus ISRO RLV is essentially an IAF prog which could provide similar capabilities as the US X-37 in due course. It could probably be used to deploy killer sats similar to those tested via SPADEX.
Other capabilities are a long way off. But we are coming up with a military space doctrine to formalize such ops. Once that happens, the IAFs Aerospace Command would be just around the corner.
US isn't our enemy yet. As long as the China threat exists we will be their frenemy if you like & they'd support us to the extent possible. Paxtan is a different ball game.US is our "covert" enemy no. 1. It's a great modern delusion that US is our friend. In fact, far from it!

I don't think the US is comfortable with Paxtani nukes more so now that the Iranian program has received a huge setback & is desperately scouting for assistance in reviving their N program with an equally desperate Paxtan staring at an economic abyss. Tailor made situation for both to connect.
Not that they haven't in the past under AQ Khan "Bhopali" nuke trade network busted by the US who hauled Fauji Foundation over the coals but that was essentially coz Libya spilled the beans . The US or rather Israel won't get lucky all the time for that's essentially what this is all about.
I believe the US will find it increasingly difficult to balance Israeli fears about Paxtani nukes OTOH & OTOH balance the latter with India's growing ambitions by propping up Paxtan to counter balance us the way they seek to counter balance us with China.
Then again we've Hellfire about from the rooftops on how Fauji Foundation has ceded control of their nukes to the US. Whom do you believe now for if it's true then they're indirectly aiding India - the very opposite of what you're suggesting.

The AMTI threat was always there. The Chinese have had it for some years now, they even demonstrated their EO capabilities. Beidou isn't meant for AMTI though.
India is a future threat to the US. That's old story. Not today.
All of this bullshit tech aside, the bigger fact remains: why did Chinese tech stop working on March 10th?
I believe the dominant part is political reason why IAF did not do the needed SEAD DEAD. Rest is all bullshit.
The more and more I analyze it, the more and more it becomes clear... This tech bullshit is overrated. Simply give a full clear to the forces to completely destroy Pakistan once and for all.

Both are isolated, nothing to do with each other.
The Chinese have advanced sat-based tech which provided real-time intelligence to the PAF. The IAF may not have attempted to jam Chinese surveillance tech. Otoh, PAF's tech was jammed, so they couldn't use their weapons effectively even though they had intel. It's extremely likely the PAF couldn't use Chinese intel directly with their weapons, meaning they are not part of the network.
When it comes to the IAF, yeah, all the limits placed were political. Modi says the next time there won't be any.
As for why things did not escalate further, Trump claims he threatened with trade to get India to stop, but I suppose the political objectives of the operation were met, even if our military objectives were cut short, regardless of Trump's words.
Against China when they wre helping Pak we can only rely on soft kill measures to deal with their satellites as kinetic ASAT = war.
De orbiting satellite requires grappling with robotic arm, very tough especially as other satellite can also move away quickly. We need lasers on sats which can dazzle satellites. Ground to space involves sending lasers through atmosphere, space has no such hurdles, so satellites with smaller laser weapons can still reach quite some range.
Ground based laser, though requiring lot more power, will be overall more cheaper and doable, to blind satellites.

He also claimed the system can blind enemy satellites in orbits of up to 1,500 km and "disabling them during their fly-past by means of laser irradiation".

Does this work on every satellite? Aren't there satellite with sensors that are immune to dazzlers?Ground based laser, though requiring lot more power, will be overall more cheaper and doable, to blind satellites.

Can't say anything for sure, it's a new system, new realised concept, not much real life data.
Just some more detail about claims related to its capability.
