Suspicious maneuvers by the Russians in space. "The first such case"

A Russian military satellite, Kosmos 2612, performed a suspicious maneuver, approaching the commercial satellite ICEYE-X36 to within 500 meters. This action raises concerns about potential surveillance or interference with the satellite, which provides critical intelligence to the Ukrainian military. Experts suggest this could be the first instance of a satellite approaching another without consent. The situation has been monitored since May, with indications of Russian satellites adjusting their orbits to align with ICEYE-X36. Although the intentions behind Kosmos 2612's actions remain unclear, they could indicate capabilities for intelligence gathering or disruption in space operations.
