The U.S. Air Force Secretary has confirmed the deployment of 'space control weapons' in orbit, marking a shift from previous emphasis on resilience and ground-based systems. This announcement has drawn criticism from China and Russia, who argue it violates the 1967 Outer Space Treaty. The treaty prohibits the placement of nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction in orbit but does not explicitly ban conventional weapons in space.
