Speaking to TVP World, the head of Germany’s Space Command said Moscow may be developing technologies that could allow it to place a nuclear warhead in space. He also pointed to recent maneuvers by Russian Kosmos satellites near ICEYE-36, a radar satellite operated by the Finnish-Polish company ICEYE, whose imagery has supported Ukraine. The episode has intensified debate over how Europe should protect both military and commercial space assets. Russian satellites moving close to foreign spacecraft can be used to collect intelligence, study how a system operates, interfere with its functions or potentially disable it. Germany has proposed creating a European Space Component Command to coordinate military space operations across the continent. Berlin says it is already in talks with partners, including Poland, about forming a core team with international participation from the outset. Warsaw is also strengthening its own space-security capabilities. Poland has moved to acquire military radar reconnaissance satellites and is in talks with the European Space Agency over a possible center focused on security and dual-use technologies. The shift reflects a broader European reassessment prompted in part by Russia’s war against Ukraine.
