Washington is seeking to make the military use of space the new norm, The Wall Street Journal writes.

According to the publication, disclosing information about American orbital weapons has become part of a broader campaign to normalize the use of outer space by the U.S. military.

American officials believe that publicly discussing such systems could serve as a deterrent. In their view, the decision to disclose information about such technologies is not related to specific international events or ongoing military operations.

❗️Earlier, the U.S. military announced the deployment of the first space weapon into orbit. According to the country’s Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink, it will also serve as a tool for “deterring adversaries.” In response to a question from Izvestia, Maria Zakharova said that the Russian Foreign Ministry would send the UN materials on the U.S. deployment of weapons in space.
