Russia is jamming UK military satellites on a regular basis, according to the head of UK Space Command.
Major General Paul Tedman said Russian forces are actively trying to disrupt UK-based military activities 'weekly' and are closely monitoring the country's space assets.
'We're seeing our satellites being jammed by the Russians on a reasonably persistent basis,' he told the BBC.
The UK operates approximately six dedicated military satellites for communications and surveillance, which Major General Tedman said were equipped with counter-jamming technology.
He added: 'They've got payloads on board that can see our satellites and are trying to collect information from them.'
