US confirms weapons in space

From the creator

The US has confirmed for the first time that it has deployed weapons in space to defend American forces, without disclosing specific weapon details or how long they have been in orbit. Space security expert Dr Mark Hilborne explains that weapons in orbit are primarily designed for defence against attacks in space, but warns growing capabilities may test international treaties. #space #weapons #usa #technology #skynews SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Why not listen to one of our podcasts?
