US Military Says It Has Launched Weapons Into Space
In a report cited by TechCrunch, the U.S. military has publicly acknowledged for the first time that it placed a weapon system in Earth's orbit.
The U.S. military has publicly acknowledged, for the first time, that it has launched a weapon into Earth's orbit, according to a report by TechCrunch.
TechCrunch described the disclosure as the first public confirmation of its kind, marking a shift from previous official silence on whether the United States had deployed weaponry in space.
The report did not provide further details on the type of weapon, the date of its launch, or the specific orbital location, and no additional information was immediately available from other sources.
The acknowledgment comes amid ongoing global discussions about the militarization of space, an issue that has drawn attention from international bodies and rival powers in recent years.
EGazette has not independently verified the claim beyond the TechCrunch report and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
