A top Pentagon official has warned Russia is developing an “indiscriminate” anti-satellite nuclear device that would pose a threat to all satellites. The top US defence official said Russia’s space weapon would not distinguish among military, civilian or commercial satellites. The US official also warned that the detonation of a Russian nuclear space weapon could render low-Earth orbit unusable for a year. Plumb clarified that the outer space treaty prohibits weapons of mass destruction, and asserted that Russia and China have “militarised” space. Meanwhile, a US official has urged China and Russia to match declarations by the US that only humans, and no AI* would make decisions on nukes deployment. #usa #russia #china #space 0:00 - Introduction 0:52 - US Warns Russia Developing “indiscriminate Weapon” in Space 4:06 - Russia Proposes All-time Ban on Space Weapons After Vetoing US "Ploy" 6:05 - US Wary of “serious National Security Threat” From Space 7:15 - US Urges “no Artificial Intelligence” Decision on Nukes n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
