I'm gonna piggy back off you anon and vote satellites, specifically any spy satellite being launched under Starshield. We know almost fucking nothing about it, and the existing GEOSAT and MEOSAT spy satellites from the Cold War that NRO, NGA and Space Force currently man are already enough to make China and Russia shit their pants and (most likely) deploy nukes, EW or other ASAT capabilities in space.

Starshield must be terrifying for them. A potential LEOSAT constellation of spy satellites that has 24 fucking hour persistence (no more waiting for passovers anymore) that hey have no hope of countering except for blowing up every fucking downlink station the US has on earth.

Could theoretically chuck whatever the fuck you want on it too. Fucking synthetic aperture radar, some kind of ridiculous camera for GEOINT, MASINT sensors for ballistic missiles and other sensing, Infrared. Hell, even throw a couple fucking interceptors on those bad boys and plug it straight into fucking Golden Dome.

I am fairly certain that Starshield is the only reason (that I can think of anyway) that Musk got US TS clearance in 2022.
