"Wars will be carried out in orbit": Pistorius warned that the Russian Federation can bring nuclear weapons into space

To spread: Russians can deploy their nuclear weapons in space, warned by Germany's defense minister Boris Pistorius. According to him, in recent years, China and the Russian Federation have significantly expanded their possibilities of war in orbit. Germany, against the background of concern about the deployment of Russian sustainable nuclear weapons in space, plans to spend € 35 billion in defense of its satellites by 2030.

These funds will be directed to strengthen the protection of military space systems against failures and attacks, writes Bloomberg on September 25 with reference to the words of Boris Pistorius. The German Minister of Defense also believes that allies on the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO) should consider the possibility of creating "offensive opportunities" in the orbit of land. "Satellite networks are now Achilles' fifth of modern societies. Attacking whole countries can paralyze them.

We know that the conflicts of the future will no longer be limited to land. They will also be opened in orbit," he said at a conference of the space industry in Berlin. According to him, Russia and China have learned not only in recent years not only to silence and dazzle satellites, but also to manipulate them and kinetically destroy them. "There are no borders or continents in space. Today, the German Armed Forces are affected by the mufflers.

These attacks are directed not only against the military, but also against the economy and society as a whole," Pistorius said. He said that Russian intelligence satellites monitored two Intelsat, which are used by the German armed forces, which indicates proximity to the real threat. The German Defense Minister also maintained the concern of NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Russia's deployment of nuclear nuclear weapons in space.

Pistorius noted that it would be a violation of the 1967 outer space. According to the minister, Germany and allies should create reserves with the help of several network satellite constellations and "offensive opportunities". According to Pistorius, in the Space Command of the German Armed Forces will be created its own military center of satellite operations.

We will remind, at the Institute of War Study (ISW) on September 25 they noted that the Russian authorities use a "nucleus" to intimidate Donald Trump. On September 25, Dmitry Medvedev, NSDC, threatened nuclear weapons to the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and the USA.
