US says Russia likely launched anti-satellite weapon
- Russia launched a satellite into low Earth orbit that the US suspects is a counterspace weapon capable of attacking other satellites, as stated by Wood during a UN Security Council resolution vote.
- The satellite was deployed in the same orbit as a US government satellite, described as troubling by Wood, undermining Russia's claims of outer space security.
- Prior Russian satellite launches in 2019 and 2022 were likely counterspace systems, according to Wood, raising concerns about the militarization of space.
