This is confirmed. The US Space Force now says it has operational weapons in orbit. It's the first official admission they have ever admitted to such a thing. The announcement came in the wake of reports from BBC, Financial Times, and Telegraph. Representatives called the weapon an orbital control capability but did not elaborate. No information was provided its operational functions or its technical design. China responded with a warning. The response cited concerns about space safety. The statement did not reference other nations. This is a recent shift for armed forces in space. The Space Force is taking the lead on this. But due to the absence of clear information, the ultimate scope is still uncertain.
