The U.S. has confirmed for the first time that it has deployed a weapon in orbit, citing the need to protect American forces from growing threats in space. Air Force Secretary Troy Meink said the on-orbit system was necessary to counter hostile action, but officials have not revealed what the weapon can do or when it was deployed. The disclosure comes as the U.S., Russia and China expand their military capabilities in space, raising concerns over the potential for future conflict beyond Earth. #usa #news #space #airforce #military
