A French Major General is warning the West of a rise in Russian attacks in space.
According to Major General Vincent Chusseau, there has been a significant increase in incidents, especially since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022
The commander explained that Russia has 'diversified methods of disrupting satellites, with activity such as jamming, lasers and cyberattacks having become commonplace.'
In his interview with Reuters, he said: 'Space is now a fully-fledged operational domain.'
France has previously publicly accused Russia of space espionage when the Russian satellite Louch-Olymp 'sneaked up' on a Franco-Italian satellite in 2017.
