Russian military satellite closes to three miles of US radar satellite

Original: Russian military satellite closes from 200 miles to 3 miles of US radar craft aiding Ukraine Russia’s Cosmos 2612 moved

Russia's Cosmos 2612, a military satellite, moved from more than 200 miles away to roughly three miles from ICEYE-X36, a US-owned radar satellite that has been supporting Ukraine. The maneuver highlights growing risks to commercial and allied space assets used in the war, and raises questions about close-approach tactics, potential surveillance, and the safety of satellites operating over the conflict zone.

Why now: Russian military satellites maneuvering near satellites aiding Ukraine signal escalating tensions and risks in orbital space during the war.
