So Russia has decided that a way for it to achieve any kind of military advantage over the US and have success in things like its invasion of Ukraine is to be able to threaten the United States’ satellite infrastructure in space in such a way that might make it hard for the US to effectively fight back against Russia. And I think that’s what might be going on right now. And it was actually in late 2022 when the Russians said, you know what? Those American satellites are getting in our way, and we may choose to target those satellites in the future. And that’s because the Ukrainian military was relying on SpaceX, and Elon Musk, and his network of Starlink satellites to continue to operate. And I think what’s really going on here is the Russians in the early stages of their invasion of Ukraine were really frustrated that they were not able to really block the ability of the Ukrainian military to continue to communicate. It would create all kinds of debris in space. Russia sees potentially a nuclear weapon as a way to take out large numbers of satellites in an instant. So back to this congressman, Turner, and his message, why would the Russians need a nuclear element to their efforts to challenge America’s satellite programs in space? eric lipton But the real flaw in the United States military space system is that there aren’t very many of them, and you don’t have to take out too many of them to severely disable the United States’ capacities. And it’s something that is one of the great powers that the United States is to have all of this equipment floating around above us. And we rely upon all of the assets that we have for navigation, for communication, for missile defense, for missile targeting. They’re these exquisite systems that just sit there in space and provide incredible information. For decades, the United States has been building effectively school bus-sized satellites that cost a massive amounts of money. I think that few Americans realize just how vital space is to the military defense of the United States. So here, we need to slow down and explain what that means, why it’s so alarming, why nukes would ever be in space. And when it did that, it would be used to target United States surveillance satellites. The intelligence that our “New York Times” colleagues have collected is that Russia is preparing to put a weapon in space that would blow up a nuclear device. michael barbaroĪnd what exactly was this new kind of military threat? eric lipton Reporters heard that this had to do with Russia and with a new type of military threat. And pretty quickly - archived recordingĬongressman Turner is referring to a foreign military capability, and that foreign military is the Russian military.
