Google Earth screenshots show construction of Russian anti-satellite weapons has begun

This project, which started back in 2011, has suffered many delays and we were only able to learn of its existence from various court documents in 2014 and 2017. pictures taken by Google Earth confirmed that Russia has already begun construction of the Kalina.

And this is the name given to anti-satellite weapons. designed to aim at foreign satellites flying over the territory of Russia, which can permanently blind hostile satellites by emitting too intense laser pulses to damage optical sensors.

The Krona space complex, located near Zelenchukskaya in far southwestern Russia, is where this complex system, which was captured by Google Earth, is being built. Note that this space object is already known for the fact that a huge RATAN-600 radio telescope is installed on it.

The lack of information due to the incredible secrecy does not allow for clearer and more complete data and it is difficult to define the general opportunities offered by Kalina. However, when it became known about the progress of construction, in the place where the process takes place, one could see the new dome of the telescope.

Finally, it should be noted that the report states that Russia is developing not one, but three laser speeders for use against satellites, Kalina is one of them.

According to The Washington Post, this “shadow war in space” is already underway. In an article from May 2022, we already reported that Elon Musk said that Russia had stepped up its efforts to jam the signals of SpaceX’s Starlink Internet satellites.

Apparently, this war intensified the struggle between the two parts of the world that are so different today. According to Russian analysts, Russia will not allow US and NATO forces to continue exploiting new developments at the space level.

That’s what the batteries are for, and ignorance of the full potential of Kalina as an anti-satellite weapon can make Western countries shudder.
