The Russian Federation develops nuclear space weapons: in the media told about its danger
Despite the fact that weapons are still being developed and not in orbit, its use can "cross the dangerous Rubicon" in the history of nuclear weapons and cause failures in everyday life. Weapons can create an electromagnetic energy impulse and a flow of high -recharged particles that will disturb the work of satellites around the Earth. Journalists said that for many years the attempts of the Russian Federation to develop a wide range of sipping weapons were monitored.
According to one of the officials of the US Defense Ministry, the flow of intelligence reports on the efforts of the Russians to develop nuclear insufficiency, including nuclear electromagnetic impulse (EMI), the Russian Federation has made progress. According to US President Joe Biden, the intelligence community found "the opportunity to launch a system into space that could theoretically do harm," but this has not happened yet.
"This is not a new concept, and as a concept goes back to the late Cold War," one of the American officials said. According to him, fears about any possible EMI device is that it may make "large parts of certain orbits" unusable, creating a "minefield" from the satellites that will be dangerous for new satellites that can be displayed in Space to replace or repair existing ones. Recall that in the United States, information about the potential of Russia has launched a sketchy nuclear system.
