"US Concerned About Russia's Space-Based Nuclear Weapon Threat and GOP Calls for Inquiry"

Reports of Russia pursuing nuclear weapons in space have raised concerns about the vulnerability of U.S. satellites and the potential catastrophic impact on infrastructure. Both Russia and the U.S. have previously detonated nuclear warheads in space, causing widespread effects on satellites and electrical systems. Recent developments include Russia and China's efforts to weaponize space, such as deploying nesting doll satellites and testing anti-satellite systems. The establishment of the U.S. Space Force reflects the growing focus on space defense and the need to address evolving threats, including the possibility of nuclear weapons in space.
