DoD: Russian counter space weapon now in low orbit around the Earth and tracking near several U.S. military satellites.

Sharing is Caring!

The U.S. Department of Defense now believes that a Russian “Satellite Launch” on May 16th, which caused a NOTAM to be issued off the Coast of California, was likely a Cover for the Deployment of a Counter-Space Weapon, which is now in Low-Orbit around the Earth and Tracking near several U.S. Military Satellites. This follows additional launches by the Russian Armed Forces in 2019 and 2022, which were also believed to have Deployed similar Weapons that could be utilized against U.S. or NATO Intelligence Satellites if a War was to Breakout.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. government claims that a recently launched Russian satellite is a counterspace weapon placed in nearly the same orbit as an American reconnaissance satellite.

Amb. Robert Wood, U.S. alternate representative for special political affairs in the United Nations, made the allegation during a May 20 debate by the U.N. Security Council on a Russian resolution proposing a ban on the placement of weapons of any kind in space.

“Just last week, on May 16, Russia launched a satellite into low Earth orbit that the United States assesses is likely a counterspace weapon, presumably capable of attacking other satellites in low Earth orbit,” he said. “Russia deployed this new counterspace weapon into the same orbit as a U.S. government satellite.”

Congress was “concerned” about this back in February..

Is it really Russia though, or is it the Space Farce, willing to annihilate it’s own citizens?
