Russia just tested satellite-destroying tech in space, US Space Command claims
On July 15th, a Russian satellite called Kosmos 2543 released an unknown object into orbit…the object was released near another Russian satellite.
There was no kinetic impact and no debris.
Kosmos 2543 itself was deployed from Kosmos 2542 in December 2019. 2543 then released a “grandbaby” object on 15 July.
Kosmos 2543 previously “stalked” a US National Security satellite.
“The Russian satellite system used to conduct this on-orbit weapons test is the same satellite system that we raised concerns about earlier this year, when Russia maneuvered near a U.S. government satellite”- Gen Raymond
