link The United States has deployed weapons in space and will use them to defend American forces, Air Force Secretary Troy Meink said Monday – the first public acknowledgment of such capabilities in orbit and a deliberate signal to those that pose potential threats in the domain. "Today we continue to ensure we remain ready to meet the challenges of evolving threats wherever they exist," Meink told the Air, Space and Cyber Conference, an annual gathering hosted by the Air & Space Forces Association in National Harbor, Maryland. "This is why the United States now has on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the joint force against hostile adversary action." Meink did not provide specifics on the weapons and, when asked to expand, refused to provide additional details. It's unknown when the weapons were put into orbit. President Donald Trump has touted the US Space Force, which he created in 2019 as part of the Air Force, as a historic step toward bolstering US defense capabilities amid an advancing arms race in which China and Russia have challenged America's space dominance. |
