CNN on the 21st quoted relevant US sources as saying that Russia is believed to have been conducting anti-satellite weapons tests in the near future. The United States has detected and tracked the weapon, but it has not produced debris, indicating that it has not destroyed the target. The US media analysis said that Russia’s weapons test will take place before US President-elect Trump takes office next month, and can be seen as a Moscow proving that he has the strength to “provocate†in space.
In the past, Russia has proved its ability to launch anti-satellite weapons, including the anti-satellite weapon "Nudoli". US media said that US military officials expressed concern about Russia's growing anti-satellite weapons, because the United States is increasingly dependent on satellites in the military and commercial fields.

According to reports, US officials believe that the Russian military may have deployed a "Kamikaze Commando" satellite called "Kosmos 2499", which is used to access US satellites. If it receives instructions, it can destroy satellites or disable them. .
US Air Force Space Command Commander Gen. John Hyten told CNN in November, “We have strong surveillance and intelligence gathering capabilities, so we can know the threats that are emerging.†“So we are developing to defend ourselves. ability". However, the US Air Force Space Command, which oversees US space operations, declined to talk about recent events. The commander of the US Air Force Space Command said, "We monitor global missile launches, but for policy reasons, we generally do not discuss specific launch intelligence." And said, "We are still concerned about the growing global space capabilities, especially China and Russia, because both countries are developing or have developed space counterattack capabilities. Specific questions about Russian launch or trial should go directly to the Russian Federation. Bureau or Russian government."
The US media said that Russia is not the only country that has developed such weapons. China has conducted similar tests and destroyed an aging weather satellite in 2007. Analysts believe that this shows China's growing military capabilities. The United States also destroyed a satellite in space with missiles in space in 2008. US officials said that the orbital attenuation of the satellite poses a risk in space.
