Russian killer satellites moved

Great Britain, which has put the Western world on the brink of a new "cold war" with Russia, nevertheless does not forget that it is dealing with a nuclear power possessing space technology. Mischief by all means of the Russian Federation, she looks with one eye at the sky, and not in vain.





Space may become a new field for the confrontation of superpowers. The plans for the militarization of near-Earth space were recently announced by the "American cousin" Donald Trump. Russia could not leave this challenge without a proper answer. In the near-Earth space, a Russian orbital group is forming, which should become an element of deterring the aggressive plans of the United States of America and their allies.

In 2017, with the help of the Soyuz-2.1v light launch vehicle, the secret satellite, codenamed Cosmos-2519, was launched into orbit by the Volga booster block. After some time, the so-called satellite-inspector Cosmos-2521 separated from the space platform and went into free space navigation, having begun to maneuver. Its movement is controlled remotely.

These satellites, according to the creators, are capable of not only observing competing spacecraft, but also intercepting them, for which they have received the nickname "killer satellites."

Tests of Russian secret vehicles were successful, but the British were alarmed. The maneuvering Cosmos-2521 tracks caught the attention of Philip Clark, a British expert on the Russian space program. He hastily publishes his article on the achievements of Russian space in the BIS Spaceflight magazine.

    I look at all this "fuss" with weapons and think: maybe early we crowed about our "independence"? Example: China. It was necessary first to build up the muscles (in the sense of the economy). The country will withstand a short battle, but a protracted NO!

      What does it mean to "intercept" other people's spacecraft? Plant them on the ground? Hardly. They will burn up in the atmosphere. Read information from them? Also unlikely. If only to disable them for a while. So what should I understand?
