US Space Force confirms: We have weapons orbiting Earth

The US Space Force has confirmed for the first time that the United States has weapons in orbit around the Earth. The statement does not specify what kind of weapons are involved, but says they include both defensive and offensive systems. The militarization of space has been underway for decades. Both the United States and Russia have worked on ways to arm their own satellites and destroy those of other nations. In 1967, the superpowers and several other countries signed a treaty banning weapons of mass destruction in space.
