Russia Jamming UK Military Satellites Weekly, UK General Reveals
In a recent interview, the head of the UK Space Command, Maj. Gen. Paul Tedman, disclosed that Russia is persistently shadowing and attempting to jam British military satellites, with these actions becoming more aggressive since the invasion of Ukraine. Russian activity includes using payloads to gather information and jamming British satellites on a weekly basis, despite the UK’s use of counter-jamming technology. The UK is not alone in its concerns, as Germany has also reported Russian spacecraft stalking their satellites. Tedman highlighted that while China possesses more sophisticated capabilities, Russia poses a more immediate threat due to its willingness to use its counter-space systems.
