US and Russia Engage in Space Weaponry, Pentagon Confirms Launch of Counter-Space Capability
ai generated text
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.
We have observed nominal activity and assess it is likely a counterspace weapon presumably capable of attacking other satellites in low Earth orbit.
I can't comment on this in any way. We act absolutely in accordance with international law, do not violate anything, and have repeatedly advocated banning any weapons in space.
We are not violating anything. We have repeatedly advocated a ban on the deployment of any weapons into space.
They have once again demonstrated that their true priorities in the area of outer space are aimed not at keeping space free from weapons of any kind, but at placing weapons in space and turning it into an arena for military confrontation.
I don't think we should respond to any fake news from Washington.
Russia launched a satellite into low Earth orbit that we assess is likely a counter-space weapon presumably capable of attacking other satellites in low Earth orbit.
We have a responsibility to be ready to protect and defend the domain, the space domain, and ensure continuous and uninterrupted support to the Joint and Combined Force.
Russia deployed this new counter-space weapon into the same orbit as a US government satellite.
