US Confirms Weapons in Orbit for First Time
1 min read
U.S. Air Force Secretary Troy Meink publicly confirmed the U.S. has deployed weapons in orbit. He stated the U.S. now has on-orbit space control weapons to defend against hostile action. The admission, made at the 2026 Air and Space Cyber Conference, marks a shift from previous vagueness. China and Russia have since urged the U.S. to avoid militarizing space.
