Ground-based and compact Chinese technology can disrupt or damage Starlink satellites operating in low Earth orbit.

Not true. Starlink are in a very low orbit and regularly (1 or 2 a day) will simply burn up themselves as they fall out of orbit.

that will decimate the ozone layer in 15-30 years.

🤦
I always thought of de-orbiting just to burn-off as a waste, but now this.

The researchers suspect this would help shrink the ozone hole that forms over the South Pole every year,

Ok, so there seems to be a silver lining.
A lesser Ozone hole during a certain period.

Now just to know if the Ozone decimation is winning over this little phenomenon.
Either way, the LEO satellites seem to be to big a mess for their worth, unless you are just considering their military worth.

Which is also fucking horrible. Yeah just further pollute the atmosphere with vaporized satellites why don’t you. Hope that Fortnite battle was worth it.
