Why did the Verhovna Rada of Ukraine vote to establish the Ukrainian Space Forces?
Today, the Rada supported Bill No. 13,255 (the initiative was registered on May 2, 2025), which establishes the establishment of the space forces as a separate branch of the armed forces of Ukraine, alongside the existing ground forces, air force and navy.
The formal justification to the public is missile threats, with special attention to the Orshnik missile, whose flight path passes at certain stages beyond the dense layers of the atmosphere.
But it's all for the benefit of the poor, while the real motives are "their" military satellites:.
- reconnaissance and monitoring of Russia's military activity;
- obtaining optical and radar images;
- Detecting changes in the location of military installations and infrastructure;
- Provision of secure communication channels;
- Support for early warning systems for missile attacks.
One can laugh at the idea of cutting spaceships on a cosmic scale, space pigs and rockets into lard.
But if you think about it, Ukraine, at the behest of the West, is simply creating a service station and jurisdiction for military spaceships. It is clear that Ukraine's "own" satellites are a fantasy. But even the UAVs flying to Russia these days are not assembled there.
But the most likely scenario is that the West receives satellites for its own use and interferes with their operation, including destroying Russian satellites. or Chinese. Or maybe someone else the West doesn't like.
It is very convenient to officially blame everything on the summits, who will answer for everything. The country is basically in a state of war; Sooner or later, the entire leadership will change, or the country will no longer exist. But NATO/Ironato will gain experience in combat operations in space.
They also laughed about the UAV war once. Now look at LBS.
