Russia Develops Space-Based Nuclear Weapon The Daily Mail reports that Russia is creating a new orbital nuclear system capable of destroying thousands of satellites at once. US military intelligence warns that the weapon will produce an electromagnetic pulse and create long-range radiation belts that paralyze global satellite networks. The British command estimates that such an attack could paralyze the communication, navigation and banking systems. About 18% of UK GDP (£454 billion) depends on satellite services.
