Russia is developing a space-based military system that members of Congress and U.S. officials say could pose a significant threat to the United States and its allies.
The exact nature of the system is unclear. One person described it as “a new Russian space threat capability” Some officials were alarmed after reviewing classified information on Wednesday (Feb. 14), warning of dire consequences. One member of Congress called it a potential “geostrategic turning point” Several lawmakers stressed that there was no immediate danger but called on Joe Biden's administration to take countermeasures soon.
