Space Force official warns: China has been ‘dogfighting’ with satellites

China has been practicing dog-fighting maneuvers with its satellites in space, a senior U.S. Space Force official said Tuesday.

Vice Chief of Space Operations Gen. Michael Guetlein, speaking at the annual McAleese Defense Programs Conference in Washington, D.C., warned of China’s burgeoning space capabilities. According to Guetlein, China had at least five different objects in space seen to be “practicing tactics, techniques, and procedures to do on-orbit space operations,” Defense One reported Tuesday.
