The United States Space Force has publicly confirmed that Guardians operate weapons in orbit designed to defend against space enabled attacks. The announcement has intensified debate over the growing military role of space and the risks of competition between major powers. China and Russia have criticised the expansion of military capabilities in orbit, while Washington argues that space control is necessary to protect its forces and satellites. Existing international law prohibits weapons of mass destruction in orbit but leaves significant questions around conventional counterspace systems, electronic warfare and other technologies. The development highlights how outer space is increasingly becoming an important domain of military strategy and international security.
