A new report may have uncovered evidence of that construction on an anti-satellite weapon has begun in Russia.
Back in 2011, Russia initiated work on a project to create an anti-satellite weapon known as Kalina. For the past decade, work on the weapon has suffered multiple delays. However, recent captures of the area using Google Earth show that construction on Russia’s anti-satellite weapon has finally begun.The creation of anti-satellite weapons is sure to increase as space exploration increases.
Russia has used the complex to run a system that uses both radar and lidar to provide targeting data to Russian anti-satellite systems. The Russian government conceived the original idea for the complex in the 1970s. However, it didn’t become operational until the early 2000s. Kalina will expand on the systems that Krona already offers.
Secondly, another document that appeared online in 2017 noted Kalina within a list of planned military projects. This document listed the anti-satellite weapon as a “space security complex”. The document used this same term to categorize several other anti-satellite systems.as a weapon of sorts. That’s because it calls it a “laser systems for electro-optical warfare.”
