MOSCOW, November 16. /tass/. The head of the Russian Defense Ministry, Sergei Shoigu, said that the promising Russian system had successfully hit the target as a result of the tests.
"We have really successfully tested a promising system. She struck the old satellite with jewelry. The fragments formed do not pose any threat to space activities," the head of the Russian Defense Ministry told reporters during a working trip to the troops of the Western Military District in the Voronezh Region.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Russian military department announced that it was conducting tests during which an inactive Russian spacecraft was successfully hit. The Defense Ministry stressed that it is carrying out planned activities to strengthen its defense capability and recalled that the main goal of the new US space strategy is to "create a comprehensive military advantage" in this area.
The military department stressed that the fragments formed after the defeat of the satellite do not pose a threat to the ISS and satellites, emphasizing that the satellite fragments are included in the main catalog of the domestic space control system and are immediately taken for escort until their existence ceases.
