Has Russia just put a secret weapon in orbit?

www.dailymail.co.uk...

Russia might have just put a new secret weapon into orbit as part of a scheduled launch, according to a new report.

The US military has raised concerns about the mysterious Russian launch after they found five orbital bodies leaving the rocket instead of four, as previously suggested.

The US Combined Space Operations Centre (CSpOC) believe that either the rocket's upper stage broke in two, or the Russians had kept part of the launch secret.

gosh no the Russians would never do that...

we'll have to monitor this

anyone with any knowledge of?

If the payload is spurious by nature my bet is that it is indeed a hunter-killer satellite or the like, so no rods from the gods or space-based nuclear laser or the like just yet.

Then again the source is the Dailyfail, they don't like the Russkies much, and if ever there was a propaganda rag doing the rounds in the UK, that's the one.

It's not like the US ever classifies the stuff they put up there. Double standards?

What exactly does the Boeing X-37 do up there for such extended periods of time?

Quite a few inquiring minds would like to know the answers to that question really.

I'm sure they are just testing that carbon emissions match the specs...

It's a secret weapon to influence the election outcome in 2020.

Bet on it!

I've always wanted to know that too. This thing goes up in orbit for a year at a time, and we never hear even one thing that it is doing. What is its mission? What does it do up there for such a prolonged period of time?

Pompeo today warned Russia they have 60 days to comply with INF treaty or else.

Things behind the scenes might be more perilous than we think.

Something shady and of interest to the likes of the NSA/NRO or their ilk i imagine.

Yea, like no one has put anything up there since Reagan's Star Wars?

Well Russia putting Sputnik into space brought about a possibly faked moon landing so I wonder if this'll lead to a fake landing on Mars.

If I remember right, the US just made it legal to put weapons in space by introducing something at the UN. I can't remember exactly what was done. So, we can do it but nobody else can? Even before they changed the rules, the US was putting weapons up there.

Most American citizens are not allowed to know the details of the X-37. What if the person was friends with, say Putin, and let some info about it slip out.

National security as always.

I actually feel my U.S. government is a greater threat to my life and liberty than I do any Russians. You can trust the Russians to actin their nations best interest. Here we don’t know what they are going to do or why.

No proof to this statement.

Of course not. No proof for almost everything posted here. But there is a strong hint for the national security play.
