Generalul-locotenent (r.) Corneliu Postu: „Dependența de infrastructura spațială creează vulnerabilități reciproce”

The competition for control of space has become a significant aspect of contemporary security, with satellites playing a crucial role in military infrastructure. General Corneliu Postu discusses the vulnerabilities of orbital systems and the implications of anti-satellite capabilities. He emphasizes that while military reliance on space creates mutual vulnerabilities, the loss of satellite infrastructure could severely disrupt military operations. Postu also notes that the arms race in space is not new, having roots in the Cold War, and is now accelerating with advancements in military applications of space technology. He expresses concern that current strategic deterrence mechanisms may not be sufficient to prevent escalation in this domain.
