Cursa înarmării spațiale se accelerează. Marea Britanie creează o unitate militară pentru a-și apăra sateliții

The UK is enhancing its military space capabilities by establishing the No. III Space Effects Squadron to protect satellites from hostile threats. This new unit is the first dedicated to countering hostile activities targeting UK interests in space. It will safeguard essential satellites for communications, navigation, and missile warning. The squadron aims to disrupt and degrade hostile actions against British satellites, utilizing technologies like electronic warfare. This move comes amid rising military activity in space, particularly concerns over Russian attempts to jam UK military satellites. The UK has also outlined a new space strategy with significant investments to protect critical space infrastructure while committing to peaceful space use.
