"Russia's Escalating Space Weaponry Raises National Security Concerns"

Russia is reportedly developing space weapons aimed at disabling space-based communication and intelligence networks, posing a potential national security threat to the United States. The Ukraine conflict and the role of space systems in aiding Ukraine triggered Russia to rush the development of these new space tactics. Russia's new capability may involve directed-energy weapons or electromagnetic pulses in space that could disable commercial and military networks. Meanwhile, the United States is working on building a more resilient architecture in space, and commercial companies like Starlink have developed hard-to-target satellite networks, which worries Russia.
