russia intensifies intelligence gathering in the ‘space’ state of the USA
russian special services are stepping up espionage activities in Florida – a key center of US space and defense infrastructure. Here are located dozens of military facilities, command posts, Navy infrastructure, and SpaceX.
▫️ russian agents, posing as tourists, tried to gain access to SpaceX facilities in Florida and California, as well as establish contacts with military and officials who have access to sensitive information. This indicates a systematic intelligence gathering of critical US infrastructure.
▫️These are not isolated incidents, but a consistent accumulation of data on the vulnerabilities of the American defense and space system.
Amid the crisis in the russian space industry, the kremlin is increasingly trying to compensate for technological lag through espionage and technology theft.
Earlier, the Center reported how russian cosmonaut oleg artemyev was removed from the Crew-12 mission after his attempts to photograph the engines and internal documentation of SpaceX.
