This is confirmed. The Pentagon's space branch now says it has active weapons systems in orbit. It's the first official admission they have ever admitted to such a thing. The statement came following coverage by BBC, Financial Times, and Telegraph. A spokesperson called the weapon an orbital control capability but gave no details. No information was provided what it can do or its technical design. A warning was issued by China. The response cited concerns about space safety. Other states were not cited. This is a significant development within the domain of space warfare. Leadership on this falls to the Space Force. But given the lack of detail, the full impact isn't clear yet.
