TLDR: The purpose and capabilities of the satellites are unknown, but they’re being deployed suspiciously close to US surveillance satellites.

It's a good thing the US has equipped every satellite with a concealed carry weapon /s

Because of you I imagined a satellite with a small, dedicated hydraulic arm holding a glock.

Some of them pass within “a few dozen kilometers”, while others are at “a large distance” but are in orbits that could be quickly changed to put them closer.
