Beijing's aggressive deployment of thousands of low-earth orbit satellites threatens vital intelligence and communication networks. For India, safeguarding strategic interests necessitates expanding indigenous satellite production, creating resilient decentralized constellations, and developing robust deterrence mechanisms against potential orbital disruptions.
