Extremely fascinating article thanks for posting Flyaway. First time I have ever heard of that satellite.

What makes it scary is that it is nuclear powered.

I do wonder how effective it would be from orbit if it was attacking ground targets rather than other space vehicles.
 
"with the odd name Ekipazh (a French loanword meaning both “crew” and “horse-drawn carriage”)

Looks a lot less odd when you render it as Equipage.

If they're talking about an 800km orbit, then 1MW isn't a huge power level, that's like trying to jam something in Berlin from the Russian border.
