I think Putin was trying to take out the Starlink sats. The US Airforce recently signed the deal to use them in war time. The Airforce already tested it's data link on aircraft and weapons. Musk plans on sending another hundred thousand on the next launch. Then another 40 thousand.

I had just read about it a few days before Russia pulled this stunt. Why else would they risk their own people on the space station?

Putin knew of no other way to stop the system given the amount of small Sats.

I bet Musk is furious and now will become Putin's worst nightmare.
 
Nah. It was just a test.

Pretty odd timing and how else could they take out that many sats in one shot? Not to mention they risked two of their own on the space station.

That's not the first time they have drilled a sat so I don't buy the test excuse, unless they were testing Elon Musk's ability to make a space based weapon that can destroy anything he wants from space, including incoming missiles 😆. Don't make the guy prove he can be Dr. Evil, Mr. Putin!! 😂
