Star Wars: Has Russia's war with Ukraine gone intergalactic?

Russia's military satellite, Cosmos-2612, approached the Ukrainian satellite Iceye-X36, raising concerns from the US State Department. This maneuver, described as threatening, marks a significant escalation in the conflict, indicating that space may be a new battleground. Analysts noted that Cosmos-2612's orbit change required considerable fuel and was a strategic move to exert pressure on Ukraine, potentially disrupting its satellite operations. The proximity of the two satellites, narrowing from kilometers to just meters, has shocked observers, highlighting Russia's advanced capabilities in space navigation.
