Alternatively it could be a part of their plan instead of expand this network into a super weapon in phase 2, 3, 4 etc of this satelit network.

All the energy these 1000+ satelites gather from their sun panels could also just be focused to a true laser beam like in the image.

Maybe they are designed to do this already now, or a future generation of these satelites will be able to do it.

You can bet on it is their plan and will happen, if not already now, today 2023.
