Russia has already carried out similar actions, the United States noted, and they do not correspond to the Russian declared mission in space.

“The Russian satellite system used to conduct this orbital weapons test is the same system that we expressed concern about earlier this year when Russia conducted maneuvers near a U.S. government satellite,” said U.S. Space Force chief of operations General John Raymond. .

“This is further evidence that Russia continues to attempt to develop and test space systems in accordance with the Kremlin's published weapons doctrine, which would put US and allied assets in space at risk,” he added.
