In 1967, the world's major superpowers and other nations signed the Outer Space Treaty, addressing the main concern of the era: the deployment of nuclear weapons in space. The treaty prevented superpowers from placing nuclear weapons in orbit.
Since then, Russia, the United States, India, and China have explored ways to fight in space outside the scope of this treaty. These countries have sought alternatives that do not directly violate the 1967 agreement.
One of the strategies used is attacking each other's satellites. Satellites are considered crucial for military communication, navigation, and surveillance, making them strategic targets in possible space conflicts.
