The Pentagon is expressing concern about Russia’s recent test of a cutting-edge anti-satellite weapon, lending further urgency to DoD’s fast-evolving US Space Force.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said while Russia’s weapons test clearly presents a military threat to the United States, he was extremely concerned about the danger to the international community.

“What’s most troubling about that is the danger it creates for the international community. It undermines strategic stability. As you know, there’s a debris field there now that will be there for, forever – and it’s a safety concern. 

And so we would call upon Russia to act more responsibly going forward. I mean, they have the ability, they know exactly what kind of debris field they’re going to create, so we wonder why they would move to do such a thing,” Austin told reporters recently, according to a Pentagon transcript of the event.
