Escalation in orbit
By AUDREY DECKER
09/18/2026"Pentagon officials admitted there are #US weapons orbiting Earth — a watershed moment for the space race with #China and #Russia.
"But after dropping that bombshell, American officials offered no further details about what kind of weapons are circling the globe, or how they might be used. And some experts worried the announcement could ratchet up a global space arms race.
"The disclosure came at the Air Force and #SpaceForce ’s mainstay conference this week, and it drew significant attention. Pentagon officials have long avoided publicly discussing weapons in space, or providing any details about its orbital arsenal, citing national security concerns."
