Systems is reckless, dangerous, and irresponsible. this is called an anti-satellite weapons test. >> vice president kamala harris announced the u.s. will no longer carry out these kinds of tests and shes urging other nations to follow suit. cnn innovation and space correspondent rachel crane joins us now. rachel, what does all of this mean? >> reporter: let me break it down for you because this ban is the first of its kind, but the u.s. has already demonstrated that we have this capability. we h...

So you talk its a dot on the map. all they can do is help a little bit here, all the ammunition mass to come from the u.s. once they expend that, they have to get more and more only from the u.s. because their ammunition doesnt work in that. that is a very limited capability even if it gets there. >> neil: im curious, colonel. what about -- looks like -- always a danger to say it looks like. russian forces have given up on taking kyiv for the time being. if they have success and lock it down, wo...

>> first of all, willie, i think all of the assessments that weve heard about them gathering in the east and bringing all of their fire power to the east is exactly correct. admiral stavridis and your team has been absolutely accurate about that. secondly, what i would say is i think theres been close coordination, not just with the united states but also all of the allies on what the president needs in ukraine for his capabilities. i think whats really important about this is we have given them...

A lot of rhetoric. im talking about forward defensive capability, so putin knows full well the price he will pay if he begins to invade a nato nation. but the best deterrents, is zelenskyy and ukraine military, the feeding and crushing the russia -- defeating and rushing the russian army, 75% of that russian army is deployed in ukraine. if he can defeat that russian army it would take him several years to regroup and recover from the devastation. that is why we have to be all in. that is best de...

To step up these long-range att attacks, the artillery fire, the missile strikes, the air strikes, which as you say can happen pretty much at will on any part of this country. so the weapons that are now coming in from the united states, from the uk, from other nato countries, are they enough to counter the russian ability to strike anywhere that they want in this country with these kind of missiles? >> i think there are enough, john, to lessen the number of missiles because the ukrainians seem ...

There have been several over the past 48 hours. and that is why the ukrainian government is so insistent on having the ability to control their own skies. the west wont do it for them, obviously. they need the missiles and the technology to do it themselves because, again, you cant consider any part of ukraine safe right now. while the russians have that capability. >> i heard the sound of what was like a jet engine overhead. so just curious if we know if these five strikes, if they were missile...

Anti-missile capability on the ground because of training and maintenance. so its a tougher proposition. a deep-strike capability against a russian cruise missile will help enormously, as will going after the russian navy in the black sea. a tremendous blow to them losing their flagship because it was a command and control and an air defense capability firing cruise missiles. so i think thats another area to change the nature, the dynamics of the battle. >> and why, general, do we not already ha...
