Russia may deploy nuclear space weapons against U.S. missile defenses
Original: Russia may turn to nuclear space weapons to counter U.S. missile defenses, report says
A new report says Russia may turn to nuclear space weapons as a way to counter U.S. missile defense systems. The claim suggests Moscow could place nuclear devices in orbit to disable American satellites in a conflict, an option that would breach the spirit of the Outer Space Treaty and raise major escalation risks. Security analysts are watching closely, as such a move would mark a serious deterioration in U.S.-Russia strategic stability and could trigger wider arms control debates.
Why now: Concerns over a new Russian nuclear threat in space are renewing fears about arms racing and satellite vulnerability.
