Commercial satellites transmitting information to the Armed Forces of Ukraine will become the targets of the Russian army

17

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation said that civilian satellites used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be equated with military ones and will become legitimate targets for destruction by the Russian army.

Technical the potential of the constellation of low-orbit civil satellites is used by Western countries in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Vladimir Yermakov, Director of the Department for Non-Proliferation and Armaments of the Russian Foreign Ministry, announced this.



In particular, data on the locations of Russian army units, as well as maneuvers and movement routes of the RF Armed Forces, are transferred to the enemy's disposal. With the help of these satellites, they also control drones and provide target designation for APU missiles. Such use of satellites makes it possible to consider them not commercial, but purely military and to destroy them with available means.

The provocative use of civilian satellites at least raises questions in the context of the outer space treaty, which assumes exclusively its peaceful use, and requires the most serious condemnation by the world community […]The Pentagon is testing the concept of a promising command and control system anywhere in the world, effective countermeasures. We stand for the prevention of the use of civilian commercial satellites for combat missions

- said Vladimir Ermakov in an interview RIA News.

Let me remind you that earlier we wrote about the increase in the constellation of reconnaissance and surveillance satellites over the NWO zone with the involvement of commercial companies. Five major corporations in Europe and the United States involved in the aerospace industry at once will fulfill the order of the US National Space Intelligence Agency to create an additional orbital constellation of satellites.

The statement of the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs suggests that the Ministry of Defense will have the opportunity to test Russian anti-satellite weapons.

    in the Foreign Ministry they only learned to puff out their cheeks and express concerns, most likely these are the next red lines that the Anglo-Saxons do not care about

      Well, if ours go from verbiage to specific strikes on satellites, this will be a serious conversation. And while it sounds like la-la-la ....

    If you shoot down low-orbit satellites, this means abandoning your low-orbit satellites, because there will be nothing functioning from fragments and debris in this orbit

      ... Otherwise, there will be nothing functioning on the ground for the Russian Federation. Will we compete with 5 firms and a printing press for bucks?

    Everything is correct. There is no need to be afraid of a war in space, Russia depends on it much less than the West. Satellites must be put out of action decisively and en masse. And figs with them that they will start to shoot down in response. The destruction of the NATO satellite constellation is the only thing that can, without much bloodshed, make it possible to agree on a relatively peaceful reorganization of the world on fair terms for the Russian Federation, and this will help win the NMD without excessive losses.

    A couple of months ago, someone already said something like that and threatened to knock the satellites off the mask

      The problem is that our representatives declare, but do not act, as the Western ones act and do not declare, and vague excuses brush aside justified claims. How much can our representatives play executive "burdocks". It's time to act, but only inmates with ten years of experience can only grumble under their breath.

    Ha.
    The tale of the fox and the grapes in a new way.
    Commercial satellites are commercial - pay and use. Whether military or civilian.
    Moreover, there is no war!
    If there are no mass satellites, one can only complain pathetically.
    And look at the Photo of Rogozin, like a Christmas tree hung with NATO camouflage, surrounded by real battalion commanders in civilian clothes ...

    Well, when you are going to stir up something serious, then you will take care of your satellites. Already without warning. Tired of warnings.

    By the way, it's a double-edged sword...
