Military: The Ukraine war is shifting into space
A Russian satellite has tracked a European satellite in an unusual maneuver. This raises concerns about further military conflicts - in space.
A Russian space satellite recently approached a satellite operated by the Finnish company Iceye, which provides crucial data to Ukraine's military. This incident is not the first of its kind, with a similar encounter occurring in May. The manoeuvre is seen as a show of strength in space and a potential attempt to intimidate or disrupt Ukraine's communication systems, which have already been impacted by a slowdown in data transfer from Elon Musk's Starlink network.
Experts believe the incident highlights the growing importance of space-based military capabilities and the potential for conflict in this domain.
