London [UK], November 16 (ANI/Sputnik): British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace criticized Russia’s reported test of an anti-satellite missile, saying it demonstrates a complete disregard for safety and stability in space as the debris from the tests could put space activities at risk. „This destructive anti-satellite missile test by Russia shows a complete disregard for the security, safety and sustainability of space. The debris resulting from this test will remain in orbit putting satellites and human spaceflight at risk for years to come,“ the UK Defense Ministry on Twitter quotes Wallace as saying. On Monday, US State Department spokesperson Ned Price alleged that Russia „recklessly conducted a destructive satellite test“ of direct ascent and anti-satellite missile against one of its own satellites.
