Russia may use nuclear weapons against satellites in space - Rutte
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said that the Russian Federation could use nuclear weapons against space satellites. He called on NATO allies to prepare for new challenges in outer space.
According to Censor.NET, this was reported by Welt am Sonntag.
"We are aware of reports that Russia is considering the possibility of deploying nuclear weapons in space," Rutte said.
He noted that this development is "disturbing." Rutte noted that Moscow's capabilities in space are currently outdated and do not match the level of the West.
"That is why the development of nuclear weapons in space is a way for Russia to strengthen its capabilities. This is a matter of serious concern and would mean a violation of the Outer Space Treaty of 1967," the NATO Secretary General said.
