The United Kingdom has intends to host an American space force spy base on its territory, which will face threats from Russia and China. He writes about the issue of the Express with reference to the statement of the Chief of the British Air Force Marshal Michael Wigston.
According to the daily, the United States plans to build a huge radar system in the UK to monitor space objects. There will be a radar system capable of detecting small objects at a distance of up to about 35 thousand kilometers. The system will also be able to detect attempts to hack British satellites.
The Americans plan to place similar bases in Scotland and Australia. According to the plans, & nbsp; the first base put into operation by 2025.
Wigston said Britain was very interested in deploying the base, as the systems would monitor threats from China and Russia. He noted that the activity of the Russian Federation and the PRC “ raises concerns & # 39; & # 39 ;.
“ This is the ruthless activity, deployment and testing of weapons-like systems in space. So every system we talk about that allows us to better understand what's going on is incredibly important to us, & # 39; & # 39; & mdash; he said.
