You would think with advances in technology that the X-37B and other skunk works would make the event of 1985 look like childs play. Then again access to China’s 1.4 B consumers might be more important than investing in American defense.

I remember that but didn’t realize it was that long ago.
The F-15 has been an awesome fighter.

Isn’t Popular Mechanics the rag that instructed people on how to destroy statues?

Does this mean that a certain subset of fighters & missiles should now be integral parts of our new Space Force?
Why not?

I don’t know the specifics, but this event had to be on Gorby’s mind at Reykjavík.
I’m guessing the KGB “found out” about it rather quickly.

Thanks for posting this.
I remember that anti-satellite test.
I was tasked by the Site Commander (PAVE PAWS, Beale AFB, CA.) to set up the Testing/Data Collection equipment for the ASAT Team.
Got some cool photographs from the Team afterward.
It's been years since I looked at them, but one of those you posted sure looks like one of them if I remember correctly.
Thanks again.

I assume a laser will burn out a satellite sensors without blowing it to bits.
