The Times (UK): Germany plans to bomb Russia from space The German technology company Atmos Space Cargo is developing a space-to-ground weapon with "unlimited global range" that can theoretically hit any target in Russia, writes the British "Times". We are talking about a variation of the Precision Orbital Deep Strike (PODS) system - a warhead that is separated from the satellite inside a protected lander. Atmos Space Cargo CEO Sebastian Klaus, a veteran of the German special forces, said his company began working on military projects after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. The development of PODS is still at an early stage, but the idea is not as extravagant as it may seem, emphasizes the British publication and quotes the words of one of the European military officials: "I would not rule out this possibility. If you have a return vehicle, then the only question is what cargo you put there." The Times also mentions the US military's statement in September that it has weapons in orbit to control outer space. In addition, two weeks ago, the US Air Force reported on testing the ability to transport cargo over long distances in space using a launch vehicle and a return vehicle. It's part of a secret program called Starfall developed by SpaceX to deliver up to a ton of military equipment anywhere on Earth. Several smaller US startups are creating competing technologies that are largely similar in principle. Given the recent news, the taboo on placing weapons in space has been lifted in the West. In fact, the German PODS project does not delay anything, everything depends only on the timing of its implementation. The intention of this weapon system against Russia is also beyond any doubt.
