Как сообщают нам дятлы информационных агентств, заместитель главы Космических сил США по космическим операциям Майкл Гетлейн (Michael Guetlein) заявил следующее: "В космосе есть пять различных объектов, которые маневрируют вокруг друг друга, синхронно и под контролем. Это то, что мы называем космическими боями. Они отрабатывают тактику, методы и процедуры для выполнения космических операций на орбите одним спутником над другим". Хотя генерал не уточнил, о какой стране идет речь, позднее представитель Космических сил США сказал, что обвинение касается китайской стороны, которая в 2024 году провела серию маневров с аппаратами "Шиянь-24С" и "Шицзянь-6(05) А/В".

Правда в этом то, что группа из трех КА "Шиянь-24C" была запущена в декабре 2023 года в одну плоскость с объектом 2021-122A (надо думать, это шанхайский аппарат в паре "Шицзянь-6" (05)), на одну с ним высоту и в течение долгого времени четыре КА маневрировали совместно. По ходу, в апреле 2024 г. американцы даже перепутали 2023-206A с 2023-206B, а 2023-206C c 2021-122A. Случается.

Вы не можете просматривать это вложение.

Объект 2021-122B, то есть второй в паре "Шицзянь-6" (05), в этом эксперименте не участвовал совсем и с 545 до 585 км не поднимался. Совместный полет и согласованное маневрирование спутников пары прекратились весной 2023 года.

5 Chinese satellites practiced 'dogfighting' in space, Space Force says
Space Force leaders are sharpening their rhetorical swords regarding the service's need to build space warfighting chops.

WASHINGTON — US "near peer" adversaries are "practicing dogfighting" in space to simulate orbital combat in yet another step up their wide-ranging effort to develop capabilities to deny, disrupt, degrade and/or destroy US space capabilities, the Space Force's second in command warned today.
Gen. Michael Guetlein, vice chief of space operations, told the McAleese annual Defense Programs Conference that commercial partners had provided space situational awareness data to the Space Force on a demonstration involving coordinated moves of five different satellites.
"There are five different objects in space maneuvering in and out around each other, in synchronicity and in control. That's what we call dogfighting in space. They are practicing tactics, techniques and procedures to do on-orbit space operations from one satellite to another," he explained.
And while Guetlein did not specify which countries five satellites were involved, a Space Force spokesperson later told reporters that the demonstration was Chinese.
"Gen. Guetlein referenced Chinese satellite maneuvers observed in space. China conducted a series of proximity operations in 2024 involving three Shiyan-24C experimental satellites and two Chinese experimental space objects, the Shijian-6 05A/B. These maneuvers were observed in low Earth orbit. These observations are based on commercially available information," the spokesperson said in an email to Breaking Defense.
A representative of Colorado-based space tracking firm LeoLabs confirmed that the company had observed the Chinese demonstration of what are known in the space community as rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO) using its network of ground-based radar — as well as another, ongoing case involving Russian satellites.
"The Russians are right in the middle of a three-spacecraft RPO," the LeoLabs rep added.
Both countries in the past have demonstrated RPO ability with two spacecraft moving closely around each other in LEO, raising Defense Department concerns. US officials have said that China further has been using several satellites to stalk US government and commercial satellites stationed in geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO).
But the demonstrations of the ability to synchronize movements of several satellites at once are relatively new, piling on to a long list of growing adversary space capabilities that Guetlein said require the Space Force to step up its game "to deter and, if necessary, defeat aggression" in the heavens...
