According to NASA, we are talking about the COSMOS 1408 satellite, which was put into orbit in 1982

WASHINGTON, November 16. /tass/. The Pentagon claims that Russia has conducted tests of an anti-satellite missile, during which a device put into orbit by the Soviet Union was hit. Such a statement was distributed on Monday by the Space Command of the US Armed Forces.

According to his version, "On November 15, 2021 Moscow time, Russia tested an anti-satellite rocket with direct launch into orbit, which hit a Russian satellite (COSMOS 1408), which led to the appearance of fragments in low Earth orbit." According to the statement, Russia "continues to develop anti-space weapons systems, which undermines strategic stability and poses a threat to all countries."

According to NASA, COSMOS 1408 was put into orbit by the USSR in 1982.

Concern about Russia's actions in space has previously been expressed by some American generals. In response to such allegations, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow appreciates cooperation with Washington in space and hopes that it will not fall victim to Russophobia. He called the Americans' fears completely groundless, stressing that Moscow stands for peace and cooperation.
