Russia plans to deploy nuclear weapons in space , which, if detonated, could cause global chaos by disabling 80% of satellites. Essentially, the Russian Federation could create a "space Pearl Harbor."
General Stephen Whiting, head of the US Space Command, warned of this in a comment to The Times . He stated that America is "very concerned" about the Kremlin’s plans. It is noted that such Russian plans are part of the escalating aggression in space that has been observed since the start of the war in Ukraine.
"Russia remains a highly developed space power and continues to invest in counterspace weapons. They plan to launch nuclear anti-satellite weapons into orbit, which will pose a threat to all satellites in low-Earth orbit," the general explained.
The publication notes that a nuclear explosion in low Earth orbit – we are talking about a distance of 300 to 1,200 miles or 480 to 1,930 km above the planet’s surface – could destroy and ultimately damage up to 10,000, or 80% of the total number of satellites in space.
In addition to the devastating blow to military intelligence and targeting systems, the detonation of this weapon would knock out a significant portion of the world’s civilian satellite communications for internet and mobile phones, as well as GPS services. It’s been called a "space Pearl Harbor."
"The problem with GPS jamming is that it’s done in a way that impacts civil aviation in Eastern and Southern Europe. When we endanger civilian aircraft full of people simply trying to travel for business or pleasure, that’s extremely problematic. We don’t want that to become the norm," the American general noted, commenting on Russia’s actions. According to him, the space sector has changed dramatically over the past decade. China and Russia are currently developing a suite of combat space weapons. But despite Russia’s actions, China remains the United States’ largest competitor in space. The general believes that the next big war will likely start in space.
Satellite warfare has been a threat for some years and the latest “devastating” development is the “possibility of Russia detonating a nuclear weapon in space”, said the Daily Mail, earlier.
In 2024 the US believed the Kremlin was developing an “anti-satellite missile tipped with a nuclear warhead for a potential surprise attack in low orbit”. Simulated blast tests by nuclear experts at the Pentagon have suggested that such an attack would destroy thousands of Western satellites.
Satellite networks are “critical to everything from banks synchronising their transactions to navigation tasks that ranged from guiding planes and ships to ensuring a pizza delivery driver finds the right address”.
An anti-satellite nuke would “combine a physical attack that would ripple outwards, destroying more satellites”, with the nuclear component being “used to fry their electronics”, said The Associated Press.
It could “render low-Earth orbit unusable for satellites for as long as a year”, said Republican member of Congress Mike Turner, and the effects would be “devastating”. The US and its allies could be “vulnerable to economic upheaval” and “even a nuclear attack”. The scenario is “the Cuban Missile crisis in space”, said Turner.
