Israel is reportedly planning a major expansion of its military space capabilities, with a long-term goal of developing the ability to strike targets on Earth directly from orbit, Haaretz reports. The broader strategy would strengthen Israel’s military satellites, encrypted communications, cyberwarfare and missile defense. One concept under consideration would involve satellites deploying dense tungsten projectiles from orbit at extreme speeds, creating powerful impacts capable of striking hardened or underground targets without using nuclear explosives.
