  • Meink, Çin ve Rusya’nın uzayda askeri kapasite geliştirdiğini belirterek, bu durumun ABD’nin de uzayda saldırı kapasitesini geliştirmesine yol açtığını ifade etti.
  • Ayrıca, ABD yetkilileri, uzay saldırı kabiliyetlerinin düşman uydularını etkisiz hale getirebileceğini öne sürdü.

Why It Matters

ABD, Çin ve Rusya’nın uzayda askeri kapasitelerini artırdıkları söylentileriyle ilgili olarak, uzun süredir uzaydaki askerî donanımının varlığı hakkında spekülasyonlar vardı. Meink’in açıklaması, bu spekülasyonların ilk resmi onayı niteliğinde.

CNN televizyonunun haberine göre, Meink, Maryland eyaletinde düzenlenen bir konferansta, ABD’nin uzun süredir varlığı tartışılan uzay silahlarına ilişkin açıklamada bulundu.

Meink, değişen tehdit ortamına karşı hazırlıklarını artırmayı sürdürdüklerini savunarak, “İşte bu yüzden ABD’nin, yörüngede şu anda ortak kuvvetleri düşmanca eylemlere karşı savunabilecek kapasitede uzay kontrol silahları bulunuyor” dedi. Bu silahların “ABD kuvvetlerini savunmak için kullanılacağına” işaret eden Meink, “Sadece havada değil, uzayda da üstünlüğümüzü korumamız son derece önemli. Bu nedenle tehdit edildiğimizde başa çıkabilmemiz için adımlar atmak zorunda kaldık” diye konuştu. Troy Meink, silahlar hakkında ve ne zaman konuşlandırıldıklarına dair detay vermeyi reddetti.

Öte yandan, Meink, Çin’i ve Rusya’yı uzayda askeri kabiliyet geliştirmeyi amaçlamakla suçlayan ABD’nin, uzayda saldırı kapasitesi olduğunu böylece ilk kez doğrulamış oldu. Washington Post gazetesine konuşan bir ABD’li yetkili de uzay saldırı kabiliyetlerinin, ABD birliklerinin veya uydularının hedef alınması halinde “düşman uydularının etkisiz hale getirilmesini içerebileceğini” söyledi. Üst düzey askeri yetkililer daha önce, Rusya ve Çin’in gelecekteki bir çatışmada ABD uydularına saldırma ve onları devre dışı bırakma yöntemleri geliştirdiği gerekçesiyle uzaydaki askeri kabiliyetleri önemli ölçüde artırmayı planladıklarını söylemişti.

Israel's Apache Helicopter Procurement Delayed by Budget Problems, Defense Procurement Halted

Due to the budget deficit, Israel could not purchase 12 Apache attack helicopters from Boeing, and the delivery was delayed by three years. The government has not been able to approve additional appropriations in the defense budget for months, and the purchase of air defense system missiles has also stopped. On the instructions of Prime Minister Netanyahu, the 2026 budget was increased from 143 billion shekels to 183 billion shekels, but the August tranche was not paid. Delayed payments and lack of spare parts have negatively impacted operational capability in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon.
