Kinetic Warfare

Kinetic warfare in the context of space warfare refers to using physical force to destroy or disable enemy satellites or space assets. This could involve deploying missiles or other projectiles to collide with targets in space. Unlike cyber or electronic warfare, which disrupts systems using information or technology, kinetic warfare focuses on tangible attacks that can have immediate and visible effects. The objective is to gain a strategic advantage by neutralizing an opponent's capabilities, impacting their ability to communicate, gather intelligence, or conduct operations from space.
