Washington Protests Cosmos 2612 Near ICEYE-X36 as NATO Stays Silent

Original: SpaceWatchGL GRAY SPACE – COSMOS 2612 vs ICEYE-X36: Washington Spoke. Where Was NATO?

A Russian Cosmos 2612 satellite is reported to have operated in close proximity to the Finnish commercial radar satellite ICEYE-X36, prompting a diplomatic response from Washington. Commentary questions why NATO as an alliance has not spoken out about the incident, even though the targeted spacecraft belongs to a member state's commercial sector. The episode highlights an apparent gap between US statements on hostile space activity and collective allied responses to grey-zone behaviour in orbit.

Why now: The incident raises questions about NATO's silence on hostile space activity against a member state's commercial satellite.
