Air Force secretary confirms US has weapons in space

Original: Air Force secretary acknowledges the US has weapons in space

The US Air Force secretary has publicly acknowledged that the United States has weapons in space, a rare and unusually direct confirmation about American military capabilities in orbit. The statement is drawing attention because Washington has historically been vague about whether it deploys offensive systems beyond Earth, amid growing concerns over space militarization by the US, China and Russia.

Why now: An official directly confirming US space weapons breaks with longstanding ambiguity about military assets in orbit.
