Tass decries U S anti-satellite test as dangerous step
Moscow via Tass condemns the Friday test of an air launched anti-satellite missile as a dangerous step toward deploying a new class of weapons. It says the United States prepares for war ahead of the November summit and warns Moscow may react if Washington proceeds. The agency notes the F-15 launched a two stage missile that hit a satellite in orbit and accuses Washington of steering an arms race in space. Western diplomats question Moscow’s seriousness, while the Soviets push diplomacy to halt the test.
