Russian deployed Kosmos 2576 into the path of a US spy satellite
Russia may have deployed a space weapon last week as part of its Kosmos 2576 satellite, according to US military officials.
“Just last week, on May 16, Russia launched a satellite into low-Earth orbit that the United States assesses is likely a counter-space weapon presumably capable of attacking other satellites in low-Earth orbit,” said Robert Wood, the deputy US ambassador to the United Nations.
“Russia deployed this new counter-space weapon into the same orbit as a US government satellite.”
