Russia has not deployed and does not plan to deploy nuclear weapons in space. Defense Minister Serghei Shoigu said this, according to Tass reports.
An alarm about Moscow's new military capabilities in space was raised in recent days by the United States. The new 'weapon' would be able to hit the vast network of US satellites and therefore destroy civil communications, the surveillance system from space and also the command and control network of military operations by Washington and his allies. Without the US currently having tools capable of countering such an eventuality, despite the Space Force created in 2019 by Donald Trump.
