Pentagon publishes a strategy for the use of space capabilities in wars

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Pentagon will strengthen cooperation with private companies to use new space capabilities in military conflicts, US Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Affairs John Plumb told reporters.

To this end, the department presented the “Strategy for the Integration of Commercial Space Structures.” Plumb noted that the Pentagon is ready to support private companies that have potential in the context of the joint force.

The strategy states that the integration of private space companies into Pentagon activities must occur before conflict.

As Regnum reported, in mid-October, the director of the MGIMO Center for Military-Political Studies, Doctor of Historical Sciences Alexei Podberezkin said that the United States is using outer space for military purposes against Russia.

He noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are using American high-precision weapons against Russian troops, which operate with the support of GPS satellite communications. Podberezkin also expressed the opinion that most of the US space satellites are not for a declared civilian purpose, but for a military one.

On February 14, ABC News, citing sources, reported that the US government said that Russia allegedly plans to place nuclear weapons in space for use against satellites.

Fun stuff.
