Weapons tested by Russia in space revealed

Izvestia: 53Т6 or 79М6 rocket could be used to destroy the Celina-D satellite

spacecraft “Celina-D” in November, probably 53T6 or 79M6 rocket could be used. A possible anti-satellite weapon tested by Russia in space was revealed to Izvestia by military expert Vladislav Shurygin.

The author writes that “potential“ killers ”, according to military experts, could be two systems that were developed and are undergoing final testing.”

The first “killer” is the 53T6 anti-missile missile (ABM) system A-235 “Nudol”. The second is the 79M6 anti-satellite missile, originally developed as part of the 30P6 Contact aviation anti-space defense kit.

The author draws attention to the fact that anti-satellite weapons were previously tested by the United States, China and India, but “only Russian anti-satellite weapons were called a threat to the world “. Also, according to the expert, Israel has anti-satellite weapons.

In November, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced a successful test of an unnamed anti-satellite weapon, as a result of which the inactive Celina-D spacecraft, which had been in orbit since 1982, was hit. US State Department spokesman Ned Price called such actions of Russia reckless.
