NATO Chief Warns of Russia’s Potential Space-Based Nuclear Weapons: EMP Threat Looms
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte voiced concern over Russia potentially deploying nuclear weapons in space, a move to modernize its outdated space capabilities. While these weapons wouldn’t directly target Earth, destroying satellites could cripple vital navigation, communication, and environmental monitoring systems. This action would violate the 1967 Outer Space Treaty. In response, NATO allies are enhancing intelligence sharing and developing more resilient satellite technology.
