Former Russian President and Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has warned that the destruction of Russian Rassvet satellites would trigger a space war. He claimed that during such a conflict, Starlink satellites would fall “like flies,” according to a post on Telegram and, unusually, on X in English. Medvedev’s statement follows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s request to U.S. President Donald Trump to impose sanctions on Russian and Chinese companies involved in the production of new satellites. The threat escalates tensions regarding space-based assets amid the ongoing conflict. This marks a significant verbal escalation from a high-ranking Russian official. The situation raises concerns about the potential for conflict extending into outer space.
