Russia Regularly Disrupts British Military Satellites in Space
Recent reports from the United Kingdom reveal escalating threats to space security posed by Russia.
According to Major General Paul Tedman, head of the UK’s Space Command, Russia attempts weekly to disrupt the operations of British military satellites through various jamming and tracking technologies.
London possesses around six secure military satellites, yet Russian systems consistently try to blind or even disable them.
In a historic first, the UK and the USA conducted a joint satellite maneuver, symbolizing a step toward strengthening alliance defense in space, reflecting how modern warfare increasingly extends beyond terrestrial borders.
These developments follow warnings from Danish intelligence and Germany’s defense minister about Russia’s intensified efforts to monitor and jam satellites of NATO countries, underscoring the growing importance of space security in geopolitical tensions.
