Part 2: Catching Killers or The Role of Geofence Warrants – USA Herald
Satellite-Killer Raises Alarms
The Pentagon has revealed that the Russian counter-space weapon was placed into the “same orbit” as a US government satellite and is likely tracking it. The object, believed to be Cosmos-2576, was launched on May 16 aboard a Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, located approximately 497 miles north of Moscow.
Cosmos-2576 is now sharing the same orbital path as the American spy satellite USA 314, which was launched by the US Space Force and is operated by the US National Reconnaissance Office. An unofficial Russian source claimed that the launch included a “secret military device” likely a Satellite-Killer.
Both the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and the US Northern Command are closely monitoring the Russian weapon system.
Pentagon Reacts
Military experts have long warned that Putin might resort to launching deadly weapons if he felt his grip on power was threatened by conflicts with Ukraine and the West.
