Putin can "blind" NATO troops: As the Russian Federation attacks military satellites

To spread: the head of the UK Space Command warns that the Kremlin has already launched "Star Wars" and does not make the satellites without which the modern army, every week, cannot exist. Major General Paul Tedman said that Russian troops were trying to actively interfere with the UK's military activity every week and closely monitor the space objects of the country. The Russian Federation also complains in Germany and Scandinavian countries, writes Daily Mail.

"We see that the Russians regularly blazing our satellites. They have a useful load that our satellites can see and try to gather information from them," the general said. The United Kingdom operates about six specialized military satellites and observations, which, according to Major General Tedman, are equipped with obstacle suppression technologies.

It happened after Munich Airport was forced to close at night because several drones were observed near the runway, which was detained by 17 departments and redirected 15 flights that arrived that almost 3,000 passengers were hit. However, early morning the next day, the airport was restored. Similar stops in Scandinavia last week have led to Copenhagen for almost four hours, all gatherings and landings after two or three large drones, and Oslo closed its airspace for about three hours.

The authorities did not officially blame the Kremlin, but a number of officials spoke about the involvement of Vladimir Putin. But the threat of space intervention is not limited to the United Kingdom. German Minister Boris Pistorius stated that Russia had tracked two Intelsat satellites using the German military. "They can make it silent, blind, manipulate or kinetically disrupt the satellites," he said at a space conference in Berlin.

In response to the growing international tension of the United Kingdom and the United States last month held the first coordinated satellite maneuver in space that the representatives of the Ministry of Defense called an important step forward in cooperation of the Allies. From September 4 to September 12, the American satellite was moved to orbit to check the British Colleague as part of the Olympic Defender Operation.

The escalation of the conflict in space occurs on the background of a continuous increase in tension in relations with Russia. The UK Foreign Minister Ivette Cooper has warned last week that the United Kingdom was "ready to act" after Donald Trump has publicly urged NATO allies to knock down Russian sputum aircraft. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned Russia that he would knock down any hostile objects discovered in his country's airspace.
