Washington verifies space weapon deployment
The United States announced the deployment of weapons designed to control space in orbit around the Earth, aiming to protect its forces from hostile threats. This has sparked protests and warnings from China and Russia. This move is considered a new phase in the arms race among major powers in space, with Beijing fearing that space could become a battlefield and calling for it to remain weapon-free, while Moscow is enhancing its efforts for disarmament in space. These developments occur amid the absence of a comprehensive legal framework regulating the militarization of space, amid increasing tensions and the potential for an escalation in the space arms race.
