Orbital Bombardment

Orbital bombardment refers to the use of weapons, typically from spacecraft or satellites in orbit around the Earth, to strike targets on the surface. These weapons can include missiles or other delivery systems that are launched from space to hit specific locations with precision. The concept relies on the strategic advantage of being above the atmosphere, which allows for quick and far-reaching strikes without the immediate risks associated with ground or aerial attacks. In military discussions, it raises concerns about the implications for global security and the potential for new arms races in space.
