Americanii recunosc în premieră că au amplasat arme ofensive în spațiu. Ce fac Rusia şi China

The U.S. has publicly acknowledged deploying offensive weapons in space for the first time, citing the need to protect against adversaries like Russia and China. Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink emphasized the importance of these capabilities in addressing evolving threats. The U.S. aims to enhance its military presence in space, referencing Russian and Chinese efforts to target American satellites. An international treaty from 1967 prohibits weapons of mass destruction in space, but nations continue to develop non-prohibited capabilities. The U.S. Space Force, established in 2019, is tasked with safeguarding American interests in space, including offensive operations. Both Russia and China are advancing their own anti-satellite weapons, indicating a growing military focus on space.
