Zusammenfassung:
Russian attacks and threat posturing are increasingly extending into space as well. This poses risks to infrastructure in Europe, which is becoming ever more dependent on satellite systems. This affects civilian services such as navigation, but also Europe's defence capabilities. The question is therefore increasingly how such manoeuvres by Russia should be countered, and whether weapons systems should be deployed in space as a deterrent. Europe's armed forces are far more dependent on space systems than the Russian armed forces. Given this asymmetry, Germany and its partners should focus primarily on the resilience of their satellite systems.
