Washington Responded to Cosmos 2612 and ICEYE-X36, But Where Was NATO?

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

A Russian satellite, Cosmos 2612, appears to have manoeuvred close to the Finnish commercial radar satellite ICEYE-X36, prompting a diplomatic response from Washington. SpaceWatch.GLOBAL's 'Gray Space' commentary argues the US spoke up, but questions why NATO did not address the incident involving a member-state-linked asset, raising debate over allied coordination on grey-zone space activity.

Why now: The close approach between a Russian satellite and a commercial satellite linked to a NATO country is fuelling debate over whether the alliance should respond to grey-zone actions in orbit.
