A dangerous Russian satellite which US officials suspect is linked to a nuclear anti-satellite weapons program is “spinning uncontrollably” in space. Secretive Cosmos 2553, which was set off by Russia ahead of the Ukraine invasion in 2022, is thought now to be no longer operational. It is seen as a precursor to a weapon capable of a nuclear blast wiping out both military and civilian satellites supporting activities from financial transactions to weather forecasting. It could be deployed to Russia’s massive advantage in the event of a new world war breaking out.The tech is said to be strong enough to wipe out satellite networks. The latest concerns come after warnings from the US that the equipment aims to aid the development of a nuclear anti-satellite weapon. However, Vladimir Putin rejected the claims and said that Cosmos 2553 was for research purposes. Do you thunk that Russia is leader in space technology ?
