If there was any doubt left, we now know with certainty that if or when a major direct conflict happens between the leading powers of the world, it will extend to or even start in space. There is a certain logic to this: as technology has progressed, war has extended from land to sea, air, subsurface, cyberspace and now space. Understandably, with every leap forward, superiority in the new battlefield becomes the key element in victory. Today, cyberspace and space have become the key elements in any war.
Governments and their militaries understand that space is a critical operational domain for national security. Hence, there has been a rapid global expansion of military space organizations. Russia led this new wave by creating the Russian Aerospace Forces in 2015, integrating air and space operations under a single command. India established its Defence Space Agency in 2018.
