Pentagon spokesman Kirby: Russia did not inform the United States about the weapons tests
Russia did not inform the United States about the tests of anti-satellite weapons. This was stated by Pentagon spokesman John Kirby, RIA Novosti reports.
“No,” he answered the journalist's question, adding that it was “an irresponsible act.”
Earlier US authorities accused Russia of testing anti-satellite weapons, which, according to them, created a cloud of space debris posing a danger to the crew of the International Space Station (ISS).
On November 15, space debris that could damage the ISS flew past … Debris can disturb the station in an hour and a half. During the negotiations of the station's crew with the Earth, it was noted that space debris flew past the ISS. Astronauts and ground services are discussing the possibility of returning the crew to the station. The ground service specialist noted that the next flyby of debris could take place between 11:38 and 11:44 Moscow time.
