How WW3 could be won in space... and it's Russia and China leading the star wars nuke race: As Moscow vetoes UN bid to prevent space-based Armageddon, the deadly weapons Putin and Xi's scientists are

Russia yesterday vetoed a UN resolution calling on all nations to prevent a dangerous nuclear arms race in outer space, sparking fears Moscow may be gearing up for a catastrophic cosmic escalation. Russia launches a Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome Anti-satellite nukes could destroy entire communication networks, GPS relay stations, military targeting systems and defence sensors, making modern life on Earth all but impossible Russian state TV shared a video of what it said was an anti-satellite missile Fear over the prospect of a space arms race was sparked earlier this year when American media said US intelligence officials suspected Russia was aiming to deploy nuclear weapons in space. These include co-orbital anti-satellite weapons, direct-ascent ASAT missiles, and Starlink communication satellites Pictured: China launches the Shenzhou-13 spacecraft on October 16, 2021 The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle is pictured shortly after landing at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, US, November 12, 2022 A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket lifts off from Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Fla., Thursday, December 28, 2023. The rocket was carrying the U.S. military's X-37B secret space plane The debris field created by the Russian anti-satellite test against Cosmos 1408 in LEO causing alarm to the ISS crew, satellite operators, and spacefaring nations Though some space-based weapons technology is evidently already possessed by the likes of Russia, China and almost certainly the United States, advanced orbital weapons systems are still very much in their developmental stages. Cosmos 1408, a defunct spy satellite launched in 1982, was the destroyed target, which resulted in a field of 1,500 pieces of debris endangering the crew of the ISS Russian media handout of a Yars ICBM test launch The fractional orbital bombardment system, known as FOBS, is a theoretical weapon of mass destruction that was dreamt up at the height of the Cold War The weaponry developed for the purposes of space warfare reviewed thus far encompasses space-to-space and earth-to-space platforms.
