Nah, it's been done...Glad the Cold War ended and we now have “Peace in our Day”.
But this does sound like Russia may be getting ready to do a bit of testing and prefer to have some privacy.
I see this as the equivalent of the games played by subs during the Cold War. In some ways it should sharpen the skills of both sides—and by tracking they in some ways disclose their own technology.
Running in the baffles. Old trick.
A Russian "Inspector" Spacecraft Now Appears To Be Shadowing An American Spy Satellite
The Russian satellite recently moved into a new position where it has an especially good view of a US KH-11 spy satellite.
By Joseph Trevithick January 30, 2020
Consider, the Russian satellite has to cozy up relatively close to the US satellite in order to eaves drop on communications, take high resolution photos etc. So the Russian bird is going to be opening up some fairly sensitive sensors and pointing them right at the US bird. Great time to hit them with a spike that might damage these sensors... How much weight and bulk do a couple of emitters and a few capacitors add to our bird? (asking for a friend)
The Hubble Space Telescope looks a lot like a KH-11.
We’ve launched the KH-11 into various orbits and worked on a stealth version.
Let the Russians think they are hot shots by following the ones that they can actually see.
Nah, it's been done...Sounds like Pooty-Poot is interfering in the 2020 and will insure Trump’s re-election unless Schiffty can quickly come up with some new, way more powerful Articles.
Russia wants to block our satellites that are watching Chinese burn tens of thousands of bodies.
A “Crazy Ivan?”
The Russians could wrap the spy satellite in a sticky blanket.
Or they could zap it disabled.
Ping!
I thought ours was a secret.
What’s the spaceborne equivalent of an oil mist?
Just tap the brakes and he’ll fly right by...
The name o fthe satellite is Colostomos.
Queue the X-37 to go and scoop it up.
Their version of the X-37?
