Chinese activities in space to destabilise European assets amount to a "dogfight", Germany's State Secretary for Defence said on Wednesday, warning of a "new reality" that Europe needs to urgently prepare for.
"Russia, also China, are developing, they are testing, and in some cases already employing counterspace capabilities," Jens Plötner warned during a keynote speech at the European Space Conference in Brussels. "These are designed to deny, degrade, disrupt, deceive or destroy space systems."
