The state corporation Roscosmos is concerned that the United States and NATO are launching potential weapons carriers into space.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Due to possible militarization, Russia should have its own anti-satellite weapons, the corporation’s CEO Dmitry Rogozin said on November 20.<\/p>\n
On November 16, Russian Defense Minister Shoigu announced that a new anti-satellite system hit an old inactive satellite in Tselina-D orbit. In response, on November 17, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin condemned the testing of anti-satellite weapons as they undermine strategic stability in the world.<\/p>\n
Roscosmos, according to Rogozin, is monitoring the fragments of the Tselina-D satellite, and they do not pose any threat to the International Space Station.<\/p>\n
On November 25, the Russian Aerospace Forces launched the Soyuz-2.1B launch vehicle with a spacecraft in the interests of the Russian Ministry of Defense from the Plesetsk cosmodrome, the press service of the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.<\/p>\n
The draft Treaty on the Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space was developed back in 2008 at the Conference on Disarmament; it was jointly presented by China and Russia. But the 1967 Outer Space Treaty remains the main legal document. A new treaty to prevent the placement of weapons in outer space should be equal to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and the Chemical and Biological Weapons Convention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
