flag Germany and the UK accuse Russia of escalating space threats via satellite surveillance, jamming, and close approaches, prompting major defense investments.

flag Germany and the UK have jointly accused Russia of escalating threats to their satellite operations through surveillance, jamming, and close-proximity maneuvers, citing repeated incidents involving Russian satellites tracking and interfering with Western spacecraft. flag Officials reported weekly jamming of British assets and Russian satellites following German military satellites. flag In response, Germany pledged up to €35 billion over five years for space defense, including €1.9 billion in 2025, while both nations develop new protective technologies. flag Although Russia’s proximity to Europe makes its actions more immediate, analysts warn China poses a larger long-term threat due to advanced capabilities like robotic satellite arms. flag The growing tensions are linked to Russia’s war in Ukraine and rising NATO tensions, prompting European nations to strengthen space defenses despite gaps in monitoring and response.
