Russia and China look to militarize and dominate space: US intelligence report

China and Russia’s threats in space to the United States have significantly increased in recent years, according to a new report from the Defense Intelligence Agency.

The report, titled Challenges to Security in Space — 2022, which was released Tuesday, details China and Russia’s efforts to militarize space in an attempt to “exploit the perceived U.S. reliance on space-based systems,” a readout from the agency notes. This report builds on the DIA’s initial 2019 report.
