As the newspaper writes, in September of this year, an exercise was conducted at the Yuma training ground using the F-35B, during which the destruction of objects of a potential enemy, in particular Russia, was practiced.
During the exercise, the Marine Corps F-35B fighters received data from satellites, then transmitted it to ground weapons that hit targets. At the same time, it was clarified that not only military satellites were used to obtain information, but also commercial spacecraft.

Earlier it was reported that the United States has developed a precision guidance system called Project Convergence. This system allows, due to the analysis of data from LEO satellites, to deliver high-precision strikes.
