"US Raises Alarm Over Russian Space-Based Nuclear Weapon Threat"
The United States has informed Congress and its European allies about Russian advances on a new space-based nuclear weapon designed to threaten America's satellite network. The weapon, if deployed, could potentially destroy civilian communications, surveillance, and military operations. Concerns have been raised about Russia potentially abandoning the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, which bans orbital nuclear weapons. While the launch of the antisatellite weapon does not appear imminent, there is a limited window of time to prevent its deployment.
