href="/en/united-states-of-america/t-19065189">United States</a> has weapons deployed in spatial orbit, the US Space Force announced, confirming the existence of such capabilities for the first time.</p>
<p>"The US has on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the Joint Force against hostile adversary action," a US Space Force spokesperson said in a press release. The statement did not provide specifics on the weapons in question.</p>
<p>"Space control encapsulates the mission areas required to contest and control the space domain — employing kinetic and non-kinetic means to affect adversary capabilities," it said, adding that "these capabilities can be employed for offensive and defensive purposes."</p>
<p>US Air Force Secretary Troy Meink also confirmed the existence of US weapons in space, while speaking at the Air, Space and Cyber Conference on Monday.</p>
<p>The Space Force, the US military's arm dedicated to space, justified the weapons deployment by citing its two biggest geopolitical rivals — <a class="internal-link" href="/en/russia/t-19065060">Russia</a> and <a class="internal-link" href="/en/china/t-18480887">China</a>. It said both countries pose a threat to American interests <a class="internal-link" href="/en/who-owns-the-moon/a-63761917">in space.</a></p>
<p>China "develops and operates space and counterspace capabilities as part of a military modernization strategy," while Russia "views space as a <a class="internal-link" href="/en/navigation-satellites-guide-the-world-and-its-wars/a-76399668">warfighting domain</a> and believes space supremacy will be a decisive factor in future conflicts," the statement read. </p><div class="vjs-wrapper embed big"><h2 aria-label="Embedded video — AI and satellites: The new nuclear watchdogs?" class="headline"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 20 20"><g fill-rule="evenodd"><path d="M14.114 7.599H13.5l.002 4.706h.601l4.582 3.25-.005-11.11zM11.084 4.444l-9.007.002-1.336.797.002 9.514 1.334.793 9.007.006 1.509-.799-.004-9.516z" /></g></svg>AI and satellites: The new nuclear watchdogs?</h2><video id="video-75941789" controls playsInline="" preload="none" poster="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=" data-id="75941789" data-posterurl="https://static.dw.com/image/64908723_605.webp" data-duration="03:16"><source src="https://hlsvod.dw.com/i/dwtv_video/flv/she/she260212_TTNuclear_,AVC_480x270,AVC_512x288,AVC_640x360,AVC_960x540,AVC_1280x720,AVC_1920x1080,.mp4.csmil/master.m3u8" type="application/x-mpegURL"><source src="https://tvdownloaddw-a.akamaihd.net/dwtv_video/flv/she/she260212_TTNuclear_AVC_1920x1080.mp4" type="video/mp4"><p class="vjs-no-js">To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that <a href="https://videojs.com/html5-video-support/" target="_blank">supports HTML5 video</a></p></video></div>
<h2>What have China and Russia said?</h2>
<p>In response, China urged Washington to "stop preparing for war" in outer space.</p>
<p>"We urge the US side to stop expanding its military capabilities and preparing for war in outer space," Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said, warning against an "arms race" in space.</p>
<p>Russia on Tuesday also called for space to be kept free of weapons.</p>
<p>"We believe that space must be free of any weapon," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in <a class="internal-link" href="/en/moscow/t-19038132">Moscow</a>, adding: "We are counting on broad international consolidation to continue working toward the complete demilitarization of space."</p><span data-slot-id="Article_InContent-1" class="rich-text-ad"></span>
<h2>The final frontier</h2>
<p>The militarization of space is an issue as old as the race to space itself.</p>
<p>In 1967, the world's biggest superpowers and other nations signed the <a class="internal-link" href="/en/opinion-the-outer-space-treaty-is-55-and-out-of-date/a-63397483">Outer Space Treaty</a> addressing the single biggest concern — the deployment of nuclear weapons in space.</p>
<p>Since then, Russia, the US, <a class="internal-link" href="/en/india-news-isro-launches-first-imaging-satellite-into-orbit/live-78897037">India</a> and China have been exploring ways to fight in space outside of that treaty. That includes targeting each other's satellites critical for military communication, navigation and surveillance. </p><div class="vjs-wrapper embed big"><h2 aria-label="Embedded video — United States confirms that Space Force has weapons in orbit" class="headline"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 20 20"><g fill-rule="evenodd"><path d="M14.114 7.599H13.5l.002 4.706h.601l4.582 3.25-.005-11.11zM11.084 4.444l-9.007.002-1.336.797.002 9.514 1.334.793 9.007.006 1.509-.799-.004-9.516z" /></g></svg>United States confirms that Space Force has weapons in orbit</h2><video id="video-79280248" controls playsInline="" preload="none" poster="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=" data-id="79280248" data-posterurl="https://static.dw.com/image/79268847_605.webp" data-duration="14:32"><source src="https://hlsvod.dw.com/i/dwtv_video/flv/je/je20260915_starwarsdwcom_,AVC_480x270,AVC_512x288,AVC_640x360,AVC_960x540,AVC_1280x720,AVC_1920x1080,.mp4.csmil/master.m3u8" type="application/x-mpegURL"><source src="https://tvdownloaddw-a.akamaihd.net/dwtv_video/flv/je/je20260915_starwarsdwcom_AVC_1920x1080.mp4" type="video/mp4"><p class="vjs-no-js">To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that <a href="https://videojs.com/html5-video-support/" target="_blank">supports HTML5 video</a></p></video></div>
