Russia is capable of countering any threats in orbit and has already deployed inspector satellites. Military expert Yury Knutov revealed details about the new devices.
He reminded that the S-500 "Prometey" anti-aircraft missile system is capable of countering orbital weapons. During tests, the complex successfully intercepted an old Soviet satellite.
We do not disclose the level of laser systems and "space-to-space" missiles. The race is active: both we and the Americans are launching inspector satellites. They are designed to determine the real purpose of a device in orbit, and in case of a threat, to collide with it or disable it by other means.
General Stephen Whiting, head of the US Space Command, stated in May 2026 that Russia allegedly launched devices into orbit that can function as a platform for small maneuvering satellites. According to his information, these are systems with a separable architecture.
Before that, the US linked the developments to the "Nivelir" program, within which close-range maneuvers and object separation in space were previously observed.
