Two Russian 'satellites have been actively maneuvering near a U.S. government satellite,' Gen. John Raymond told CNBC.
The leader of the U.S. Space Force confirmed that a pair of Russian spacecraft have come very close to a U.S. spy satellite, saying that the foreign satellites are showing "unusual and disturbing behavior."
"The United States finds these recent activities to be concerning and do not reflect the behavior of a responsible spacefaring nation," Raymond said.Mikhail Japaridze "Last November the Russian government launched a satellite that subsequently released a second satellite. These satellites have been actively maneuvering near a U.S. government satellite ... which the Russian government characterized as 'inspector satellites,'" U.S. General John Raymond said in a statement to CNBC.
Gen. Raymond, recently appointed as the head of the U.S. Space Force, compared the recent activities to Russian satellite tests in 2017. Those satellites "exhibited characteristics of a weapon," Raymond said, because one of the spacecraft fired "a high-speed projectile into space."
