In his analysis, @Sam_Lair compares Tom Clancy's novel Red Storm Rising, detailing a Soviet space attack on American assets, with the near-confrontation of Russia's Cosmos 2612 satellite and US commercial satellite ICEYE-X36.

While the Russian satellite did not attack ICEYE-X36, the incident highlights the resurgence of space-based warfare and its shifting nature due to the commercialization of space. buff.ly/0ZnVkVP
