US and Russia Engage in Space Weaponry, Pentagon Confirms Launch of Counter-Space Capability

The United States has accused Russia of launching a "counter-space weapon" into the same orbit as a US government satellite, which could potentially attack American satellites. The Russian satellite, known as Cosmos 2576, was launched on May 16 and is believed to be capable of inspecting and attacking other satellites in low Earth orbit. This development has raised concerns among US officials and analysts, who view it as an unprecedented move by Russia.
