In a previously unreported incident, one of China's maneuvering satellite was tracked and approached by a Russian one.

The Pentagon is rushing to expand its capacity to wage war in space, convinced that rapid advances by China and Russia in space-based operations pose a growing threat to U.S. troops and other military assets on the ground and U.S. satellites in orbit.

US Defense Department is looking to acquire a new generation of ground- and space-based tools that will allow it to defend its satellite network from attack and, if necessary, to disrupt or disable enemy spacecraft in orbit, Pentagon officials have said in a series of interviews, speeches and recent statements.

When the UN Security Council failed to adopt its resolution on outer space, the Russian veto led to concerns about a future nuclear arms race.

General H.R. McMaster, who served as a special adviser to former president Donald Trump, warned the world is on the cusp of another all-out war amid a series of cascading crises.

China is deploying an array of space assets "designed to go to war and sustain a war," a top U.S. Space Force general emphasized.

A Russian nuclear anti-satellite could have devastating consequences, the Pentagon warned this week. Meanwhile, China deployed a mission to the dark side of the moon.

The "entire" Joe Biden administration was concerned about the Russian weapon which would pose a threat to all satellites and companies around the world.

H.R. McMaster, 61, told Britain's LBC Radio that Washington and London should up their defense spending to 4% of GDP — double the amount currently asked of NATO nations — and prepare to invest in missile systems like Israel’s Iron Dome to meet “cascading crises.”
