There's tactical and strategic advantages of it, and they are well aware of it.
So they're building out their constellation of communication satellites, Earth observation satellites.
They are leaning heavy into hypersonic weapons.
I mean, when something...
is in space, in orbit, it's very predictable.
It's like literally a railroad track.
Once it's in orbit, you know exactly where it's going to be, which makes it pretty easy to intercept a lot of the satellites that are up there.
China has been working on hypersonic wave riding technology.
You can put something in orbit, bring it back into the atmosphere where some air resistance, some aerodynamics come back in.
turn, go right back up in, and you've changed the inclination that object is in space.
That changes the game on certain things.
They're doing that right now?
They have been doing it.
They are not messing around in space.
I think from a hypersonic weapons capability, I would think a lot of people are not happy with the progress they've made.
They're not... They've gone through this phase of...
buying or stealing and reverse engineering and copying things.
And then they started to reverse engineer and improve upon it.
Like their flankers, you know, they call Rush up and say like, we need to buy two fighter jets and like reverse engineer it.
And the next thing you know, you know, you got like a J-15.
