German Foreign Minister Boris Pistorius said that the country’s army is already targeting the Russian satellites by jamming attacks launched by them
German Foreign Minister Boris Pistorius has expressed concern over Russia’s growing activity in space, saying that over two Russian satellites are shadowing Intelsat satellites used by the German army and others.
“Russia and China have expanded their capabilities for warfare in space rapidly over the past years: They can disrupt satellite operations, blind satellites, manipulate or kinetically destroy them,” Pistorius said at a space conference in Berlin.
He added that the country’s army is already targeting the Russian satellites by jamming attacks launched by them. Pistorius underscored the need for talks on developing offensive capabilities in space as a deterrent, pointing to Russia’s use of two of its Luch Olymp satellites to track Intelsat satellites.
