Pentagon making space assets appear ‘less juicy’ following Russia missile test

The U.S. military has a renewed sense of urgency in defending space assets following Russia’s successful missile launch that hit and destroyed a satellite.

“What we’re seeing Russia demonstrate is a weapon. If they can destroy a Russian satellite, they can destroy an American satellite,” U.S. Space Force Lt. Gen. Nina M. Armagno said at the ASCEND space conference on Wednesday, according to Defense One.
