Russia's killer satellite suddenly reactivated after 2 years

A few years ago, Russia launched into Earth's orbit of mysterious satellites that, according to many military experts, could be the country's new generation of space weapons.

There are many opinions that Russia is probably preparing for a space war after re-activating a mysterious satellite group launched into Earth orbit two years ago.

According to military observations, between 2014 and 2015, Russian space agency Roscosmos secretly launched a satellite named Object 2014-28E to orbit Earth.

However, this satellite is said to be inactive as soon as it reaches its orbit. Because of their unusual mobility, many astronauts and satellite hunters raised concerns that they were the top secret space weapons that Russia used to destroy or usurp target satellites. other.

RussianSpaceWeb.com, a Russian space monitoring website, said that two other Russian satellites were also launched into Earth orbit close to the time of the Object satellite 2014-28E. "A few months ago.

After nearly two years of "disappearing" in orbit, this group of satellites unexpectedly made many people worry.

Russia is racing for space war?

While some experts predict that Russian satellites are simply the first prototypes to adopt new satellite technology, some military think they could be the new generation of space weapons. (Killer satellites - Assassin satellites) or secret spies in Russia's space race.

Russian space historian Anatoly Zak said: " Look at Russia's history of space technology. If, in the past, Russia launched into Earth orbit with lower-cost satellites. , with the breakthrough of technology, Russia can completely launch orbits satellites equipped with lasers or explosive weapons. "

Anatoly Zak added that, until now, not only Russia, but also the US, Sweden, Japan and China have tested flying devices capable of destroying satellites.

For space powers like China and Russia, the security of satellites is considered to be the national interest of these countries. It is no coincidence that these countries have tested "killer satellite" weapons in the past decades.

During the Cold War (1946–1991), the Soviet Union began the "Istrebitel Sputnikov" project ("killer satellite") with the aim of defeating or seriously damaging enemy satellites. However, after the Soviet Union collapsed in the 1990s, this program was stopped.

However, Russian military officials have said they will restore the project if the relationship with the US deteriorates.

Disabling enemy positioning systems and satellites as "trump card" can bring great benefits to a nation if there is a space war.

Are these unusual satellite activities a trigger for a new technological war in the universe or are they simply prototype of advanced technology?

The US Air Force spokesman (USAF) said the US Strategic Command is monitoring these Russian satellites along with thousands of other objects in orbit.
