And Russian state television said, last night, that Moscow can destroy 32 satellites used by “NATO” for military operations with advanced missiles.
He added that this matter, if it happened, would lead to “blindness” of missiles, aircraft and ships, not to mention the ground forces of NATO.
The threat comes about a week after Russia tested a new technology called ASAT on a defunct Soviet satellite made for spying purposes.
Fragments of the destroyed moon flew into space and some of them approached the International Space Station, angering NASA and officials in Washington.
Russian state television said it was just a warning shot for the West.
This development came amid escalating tension between Russia and Ukraine, as the latter says that President Vladimir Putin has mobilized about 100,000 soldiers on its borders.
This huge military buildup raises fears of a Russian invasion similar to what happened in Crimea in 2014.
On the other hand, Moscow accuses Washington of stirring up “hysteria”, denying that it intends to launch an invasion of Ukrainian lands.
In a rare statement, Russia’s foreign intelligence said the Americans were painting a frightening picture of the hordes of Russian tanks and that they would begin to crush Ukrainian cities.
