The United States revealed to the allies of the "Five Eyes" data on the actions of the Russian Federation and China in space

The US military space division Space Delta 9 has opened access to classified intelligence information to the countries of the Five Eyes alliance, which includes the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. This was reported on May 1 by The Times newspaper with reference to the commander of the unit, Colonel Ramsey Horn.

According to him, the allies have gained access to data on Russian and Chinese operations in near-Earth space. The decision was made amid growing concern about the possible militarization of the orbit.

For the first time, the American side allowed representatives of the United Kingdom to work in the orbital division. In particular, Air Marshal Johnny Stringer, Deputy Commander of the British Joint Air Forces at NATO, visited the Schriver space base in Colorado, where he got acquainted with the intelligence program tracking the actions of Russian and Chinese satellites.

Horn added that the United States "must be prepared for a <conflict> that no one wants."

The publication notes that until April, the activities of the unit specializing in conducting US orbital combat operations, Space Delta 9, were mainly considered intended only for Americans with access to top-secret information.
