Space command boss warns Russia is targeting UK satellites on a ‘weekly’ basis
President of the UK Space Command, Russian forces regularly try to squeeze British military satellites.
Major General Paul Tedman said that the BBC’s efforts to disrupt the UK -based military activities took place “weekly” and Russia closely monitors the country’s space assets.
“We see that our satellites are permanently stuck by the Russians,” Maj Gen Tedman said. He said.
The UK maintains approximately six special military satellites for communication and surveillance, which is equipped with counter -shaking technology to reduce such attacks.
“There are burdens on the ship that can see our satellites and try to collect information from them.”
The threat of space -based intervention is not limited to England.
In September, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced that Russia followed two intelsat satellites used by the German army.
“They can squeeze, blind, manipulate, or disrupt kinetically, in a space conference in a space conference in a space conference in Berlin.
In response to increasing international tensions, the United Kingdom and the United States realized their first coordinated satellite maneuvers in space last month when they proceeded forward in the cooperation of defense officials.
Between 4 and September 12, a US satellite was re -positioned in orbit to examine a United Kingdom satellite and confirm that it was smoothly working.
The test was part of the Olympic Defender operation, a common military framework aimed at increasing satellite defense and flexibility.
Maji Gen Tedman said, “I was skillfully executed with the US Space Command, I could not be more satisfied or proud of our rapid progress with our allies,” he said.
“Now, with our allies, we carry out advanced orbit operations in space to protect and defend our common national and military interests in space.”
Climbing in space emerges as long as the tension with Russia continues to increase.
Foreign Minister Yette Cooper warned last week that Britain was “ready to act” after US President Donald Trump called on his allies to hit Russian planes.
In his speech to the United Nations in September, Cooper condemned Moscow’s “provocative and reckless” violations of the NATO airspace in recent weeks, including events on Estonia, Poland and Romania.
