U.S. officials are concerned about a Russian project to manufacture a space nuclear weapon.
The objective would not be to “bombard the Earth” but to ‘potentially use it on satellites’ Such a weapon could destroy the means of communication and surveillance used by the United States and its allies. It would be a violation by Russia of the 1967 space treaty, as a member of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute recalled in the columns of the Telegraph. All this information published in the American press was described as “unfounded” by Russia this Thursday.
