"US Concerns Grow Over Russia's Space-Based Anti-Satellite Weapon"

Russia is working on developing a nuclear anti-satellite weapon, but it is not yet ready to deploy it in space, according to US intelligence sources. While the Biden administration and lawmakers have expressed concerns, there is currently no immediate threat. The weapon could potentially disrupt global communications and US military operations by destroying satellites, but it would not have the capability to launch attacks on Earth. Russia's pursuit of this capability raises questions about its space program and its willingness to abandon international treaties, posing a concerning threat to US assets in space.
