They will capture satellites and apply nuclear weapons: the US fears the punches of the Russian Federation and China from space

Pentagon believes that nuclear weapons will appear in orbit in 2025, and this will jeopardize any, even non-military spacecraft. The other day, US Defense Assistant to Space Policy John Lark said: the United States believes that China and Russia militarized space. According to him, the threat is a special kind of satellites capable of carrying nuclear weapons, writes SCMP.

According to Plyamba, the US is concerned that they cannot convince the PRC and the Russian Federation that it is not necessary to run nuclear weapons into space. This will jeopardize all satellites, as well as major world communications, research, meteorological data, agriculture, trade and national security services, which all depend on, and will make low Earth orbit unusable.

John Plumb expressed the opinion that nuclear weapons in space can appear in a year and that the US needs to respond immediately. Plumba's remarks were followed by Russia's veto on the UN Resolution, which calls for countries to prevent arms from arms race in space, which made Washington think that Moscow is hiding something. China refrained during the vote.

The resolution was aimed at calling on all states to confirm their commitment to compliance with the Space Treaty in 1967 and actively facilitate the purpose of peaceful use and prevention of the extraterrestrial arms race. In a statement published by the White House last month, the US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan stated that if Russian President Vladimir Putin did not intend to place nuclear weapons in space, Moscow would not veto this resolution.

Plyamb named the 1960s-when the Soviet Union and the United States conducted nuclear tests-another time when the tests were conducted to get to know new things. Then all satellites were damaged during the tests, and the orbits became temporarily unsuitable for use. "It can be said that Russia places and develops prototypes of kinetic weapons in space," he said.

- "We see that China has developed robotic satellites that actually have a double purpose - they can be used for non -military purposes, but also in the military, for example, to capture satellites belonging to other countries. " Earlier it was written that Russia could launch nuclear weapons into space in 2024.
