• CLM-0746 A 2025 assessment by a US think tank lists which countries hold which kinds of anti-satellite capability: China and Russia hold nearly all of them, while Iran and North Korea hold jamming, spoofing, cyber attack and attacks on ground infrastructure but not missiles that can reach satellites. North Korea is also listed as able to set off a nuclear explosion in space or the upper atmosphere.
