Russia is experiencing a weapon capable of “killing” American missiles, asserts American edition 19FortyFive.
According to the publication, in the US are concerned not only by the ability of Moscow to destroy enemy rockets, but also use them to eliminate opponent satellites.
“concern causes the fact that the Russian missile defense system (Pro) can be used not only to prevent attacks in airspace, but also to combat satellites,” the publication writes.
Thus, in 19FortyFive, the test of the new anti-missile defense system was commented in April by the combat calculation of the air-sighting and missile defense of air-space forces (VKS) at the Sary-Shagan bar (Kazakhstan).
In April, the American edition of 19FortyFive stated that the Russian military “to the teeth are armed with a new weapon. Thus, the publications drew attention to the April statement of Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to which by 2024 the share of modern weapons and techniques in Russian troops will be about 76 percent, whereas in a nuclear triade this figure will exceed 88 percent in the current year.
In October 2017, Izvestia, referring to the Ministry of Defense, reported that the Space Forces of Russia successfully experienced a maneuvering satellite, capable of separating to other orbital devices, inspect them and, if necessary, intercepted.
