It will take a few years to develop, but as I’ve already pointed out, China has a good track record of producing advanced technology much faster than anybody expected. Meanwhile, if there is strategic value in having these types of low orbit constellations then the government will eat the cost until reusable rockets become available.
Yeah I suspect that’s what will happen. They’ll launch these satellites on their non-reusable long matches until they eventually have a cheaper reusable capability. I guess we’ll see how long that will be.

What’s the strategy? For what goal?
Same as what US is using them for in Ukraine for example.
