Rusland opsendte en satellit i lav jordbane den 16. maj 2024
Den 16. maj 2024 opsendte Rusland en satellit i lav jordbane, som Pentagon vurderede sandsynligvis var et antisatellitvåben i stand til at angribe andre satellitter i lav jordbane. General Pat Ryder sagde, at Rusland placerede det nye system i samme bane som en satellit tilhørende den amerikanske regering, og at dets egenskaber lignede russiske antisatellit-nyttelaster, der tidligere var udsendt i 2019 og 2022. Han gav ikke yderligere efterretningsdetaljer, men sagde, at USA ville fortsætte med at overvåge systemet og har et ansvar for at beskytte og forsvare sine rumaktiver, samtidig med at de opretholder et stabilt rummiljø. Da han blev spurgt, om våbnet i øjeblikket udgjorde en trussel mod den amerikanske satellit, pegede Ryder specifikt på, at de to var i samme bane. war.gov

On 16 May 2024, Russia launched a satellite into low Earth orbit that the Pentagon assessed was likely a counter-space weapon capable of attacking other satellites in low Earth orbit. Gen. Pat Ryder said Russia placed the new system in the same orbit as a U.S. government satellite, and that its characteristics resembled Russian counter-space payloads previously deployed in 2019 and 2022. He did not provide further intelligence details, but said the U.S. would continue monitoring the system and has a responsibility to protect and defend its space assets while maintaining a stable space environment. When asked whether the weapon currently posed a threat to the U.S. satellite, Ryder pointed specifically to the fact that the two were in the same orbit. war.gov
