The emergence of Cosmos 2553 has raised significant alarms in the US, with officials believing that it tests ominous components for a Russian space weapon, potentially nuclear.
Russia's Defence Ministry claimed the satellite is merely a technological spacecraft for testing instruments; however, US intelligence suspects it could rather serve as a platform for space-based weaponry.
Concerns about a new arms race in space have escalated, particularly with reports suggesting that Russia may be pursuing the capability to deploy nuclear weapons in orbit.
The 'Cosmos 2553' satellite's unusual positioning in low-Earth orbit has stirred skepticism, as this location typically serves as a graveyard for decommissioned satellites.
