Russian Military Releases Mystery Object Into Orbit

Three mysterious Russian military satellites released an unknown object into space, Space.com reported Thursday.

Why it matters: The United States military relies heavily on satellites to function. Many fear Russia is launching equipment into space that could sabotage U.S. satellites, potentially crippling the military.

Details: Russia has not revealed the purpose of this satellite trio, which was launched into space on February 2. Space.com described the satellites’ behavior since the launch as “interesting.”

• Last month, it seemed they were attempting to move close to other orbiting objects.
• According to the U.S. Space Force, the object could have been released on March 18.

Prophetic perspective: The Bible prophesies that America’s military fall will be precipitated by disrupted technology. If Russia is preparing to sabotage U.S. satellites, it could set the stage for the fulfillment of this prophecy.
