SUA au simulat o explozie nucleară ordonată de Rusia în spațiu. Ar distruge 11.000 de sateliți în câteva zile • Newsweek România

American analysts simulated a Russian-ordered nuclear explosion in space, which could severely damage satellite infrastructure. The fictional satellite Kosmos-2567 detonated at 400 km altitude, potentially disabling 11,000 satellites within a week. The report suggests that Russia might threaten space assets like Starlink to influence U.S. support for Ukraine. The U.S. lacks means to mitigate such an explosion's effects and is urged to develop a countermeasure program within a year. Proposed options include cyber capabilities, lasers, and kinetic interception. The Pentagon has acknowledged the possibility of Russia deploying nuclear devices in orbit, prompting the need for a comprehensive space security strategy.
