I'm not saying it, I'm expressing what I heard in this video meeting.
It was a suprise to me to hear that, and I certainly would have presumed otherwise, and that they would have had such systems at least since the 1980s. They shouldn't be hard to acquire or design/build and then launch. So like you I'm skeptical of that statement, and maybe the people in this meeting aren't vetting their sources well enough.
You're a very knowledgeable guy and I really like reading your notes, it's nice to have a reasoned debate as opposed to an argument. Refreshing🙏🏻.
Then there is this from CNN lol....

Yes and I've heard of (other? maybe the same) Russian satellite 'vehicles' launched into the orbit of a US government satellite and "tailing it"
Russians were first in space. Americans were so far behind they had to fake moon landings to save face.
Before Elon Musk and Space X the International Space Station relied on Russian Soyuz to get astronauts to and from ISS.
Still, i don't think these things matter and only people like you Mike even care about them.
i doubt Russia will launch nukes at anybody, although it is always a good idea not to live next to any potential target of a nuclear attack.
i remember after 911 working in Manhattan on relocating a bank datacenter out of NYC to secure it from nuclear attack and thinking - what about me ? i am still here LOL.
i'm not in Manhattan now but i am within biking distance of a couple of air force bases that are legitimiate targets.
i should move out of here LOL.
