Air Force Secretary Confirms US Has Weapons in Space
Original: Air Force secretary acknowledges the US has weapons in space
The US Air Force secretary has acknowledged that the United States possesses weapons in space, a rare official confirmation of American offensive capabilities in orbit. The statement is drawing attention because US officials have historically avoided detailing space-based weaponry, and it lands amid growing concerns over military competition in orbit with rivals such as China and Russia.
Why now: An official US admission of space-based weapons breaks with years of ambiguity and fuels debate over an arms race in orbit.
