Russian satellites shadowing Western spacecraft raise alarm

Original: satelliet

Reports from Dutch media describe Russian satellites manoeuvring dangerously close to Western spacecraft in orbit. One Russian satellite allegedly trailed an American spy satellite to within a few hundred metres, while another is said to be pursuing a European satellite that supports Ukraine, in what observers call a worrying cat-and-mouse game. There is also talk of a possible collision course with a US satellite, and Ukraine has warned that Russia is developing a rival to Starlink.

Why now: A series of reports about aggressive Russian space manoeuvres near Western military and European satellites has reignited concern over orbital brinkmanship and its link to the war in Ukraine.
