This is confirmed. The US Space Force now says it has operational weapons in orbit. It's the first official admission they have publicly acknowledged such a thing. The statement came in the wake of reports from BBC, Financial Times, and Telegraph. A spokesperson called the weapon an orbital control capability but did not elaborate. No information was provided its specific capabilities or its technical design. China responded with a warning. Concerns were raised about space safety. No other countries were mentioned. This is a significant development for armed forces in space. The Space Force is taking the lead on this. But with so few specifics, the complete ramifications remain unknown.
