MOSCOW (Sputnik) – UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has stressed the importance of the current comprehensive security review after the reports about the alleged anti-satellite weapon test by Russia.
Earlier in the year, London launched a review of foreign, defence, security, and development policy to reconsider its aims and methods of reaching them.
On Thursday, the US Space Command said Russia had conducted a space-based anti-satellite weapon earlier in the month.
Russian Foreign Ministry’s spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, commenting on the claim, said that Washington only accuses Russia of conducting missile tests to justify its own plans to deploy weapons in space. Russia has repeatedly called on the United States to conclude an agreement to prevent the militarization of space, but Washington has rejected Moscow’s proposals.
