The UK military has been actively jamming foreign satellites to protect its own assets from perceived threats, according to reports. This initiative is part of a broader strategy as the Royal Air Force (RAF) establishes a new unit dedicated to safeguarding British satellites against hostile actions in space.
Officials highlighted that the UK's reliance on satellites for critical services makes them vulnerable to adversarial interference. The Ministry of Defence's new Space Effects Squadron aims to disrupt and deter threats, reflecting growing concerns over space security and the potential economic impact of satellite disruptions.
