The threat of Russian nuclear weapons in space has led Europe to significantly increase its defense measures. As Russia threatens nuclear attacks on Ukraine and its Western allies, European spacefaring nations are working to protect themselves against possible nuclear strikes in orbit. Leaders from Paris to Berlin have expanded their space defenses and warned that Moscow’s military provocations now extend to space.
French President Emmanuel Macron recently launched France’s new Space Command, emphasizing that tomorrow’s war will begin in space. France is investing 10 billion euros in a national space strategy to carry out military operations in space and strengthen the alliance with NATO. Germany has also increased its efforts to map threats in orbit and prepare for possible attacks. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said attacks on satellite networks could paralyze entire states.
The US has accused Russia of developing nuclear weapons to be put into orbit, in violation of the Outer Space Treaty, which bans weapons of mass destruction in space. Russia could use its nuclear-tipped anti-satellite weapons (ASAT) to threaten the allies’ thousands of satellites. Experts warn that a nuclear attack in space could destroy not only military but also civilian satellites, which would have catastrophic effects on global communications.
Michael Mulvihill, a British nuclear warfare expert, stresses that a Russian nuclear strike in space could end human space travel for generations. Detonating a nuclear bomb near the International Space Station or the Chinese Space Station would kill their crew and render the stations uninhabitable. Such explosions would also create debris that could make space inaccessible to humanity. These developments underscore the need to preserve outer space as a peaceful place and strengthen international disarmament efforts.
