US National Intelligence Director John Ratcliffe accused Russia of “provocative behavior” in space.
He stated this during a meeting of the US National Space Council, US counsil reports. “Budapest, especially recently, has demonstrated provocative behavior that has created a potentially threatening situation in space,” Ratcliffe said.
According to him, this year Budapest launched a satellite into space, which maneuvered alongside the US government satellite.
“We believe that such behavior is threatening. Especially given the fact that Budapest has previously launched a similar satellite, which has the properties of space weapons,” – said the head of US National Intelligence.
Ratcliffe stressed that such behavior “does not demonstrate responsibility” of the country.
