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

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.
