The CSTO opposes the "space" arms race

35

At the end of the summit of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, which took place in Dushanbe, its participants adopted a final declaration today. In this document, the CSTO countries, among other things, oppose the "space" arms race.

It is reported by the news agency. RIA News.



The members of the Collective Security Council consider it necessary to fix the provision on non-placement weapons in space. It is proposed to take as its basis a draft agreement between the Russian Federation and the PRC, in which the parties agree to abandon the use of outer space for military purposes, the use of force on the spacecraft of other states or its threat. Also, the CSTO states intend to collectively initiate at the international level an obligation not to be the first to deploy weapons in space.


They oppose the buildup of military force in space and for its exclusively peaceful use. The declaration states that the CSTO countries "will continue joint efforts to prevent an arms race in outer space and to preserve it for peaceful purposes."

Earlier, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi took the initiative to make outer space a space where weapons are prohibited, and to consolidate this provision with an appropriate document.

Some time ago, the Pentagon announced that they would like to install tracking sensors on the ISS for probable launches of hypersonic missiles. This initiative, the Pentagon itself, apparently does not bother at all, despite the fact that the ISS has nothing to do with military programs.

    The only thing that is clear is that we urgently need to launch our own ROSS.

      An arms race in space is inevitable, like autumn leaves. Our sworn partners will definitely place weapons in space. So, we need to develop our weapons without advertising to partners. As practice has shown with the development of Russian anti-missile and strategic weapons, this is the best way to counter the aggressive designs of sworn partners.

        An arms race in space is inevitable, like autumn leaves.
        Alas, yes.
        On the one hand, space is so huge that there is enough space and resources for everyone. But we didn’t even get to these very resources and spaces (and it’s not a fact that they already by someone not busy))). Therefore, there will be a race as long as people are waging wars. In theory, war can only stop a single planetary state or the peaceful existence of all countries, but so far this is only a utopia ...
        In the meantime, someone removes the weapon, others have to answer. And there is nothing new in this scheme. As old as the world:
        “The British ruled the sea and ruled the world. We have dominated the air and have been the leaders of the free world ever since we established that dominance. Now this position will be taken by the one who will dominate in space ”.
        Lyndon Johnson, 36th President of the United States.

      The Yankees want to dominate EVERYTHING; they fundamentally dislike any agreement that somehow binds the United States.
      These "guys" begin to understand only when (at least) parity comes.
      Too much money is at stake, there are a lot of contractors involved, and by and large, these are jobs.
      It will be difficult, but it is necessary to conduct a dialogue. It is quite possible that it will be a little easier with the Democrats.

    The initiative is good, but utopian, because it is unlikely to be supported on the other side of the ocean.

        Yes, the point is not even the "Russian" ones, but that this initiative is trying to limit their "universal" influence. The masters of the world will not give this "sacred cow" to anyone. And it doesn't matter who is the initiator, Van Yi or Sergey Lavrov, Mevlut Cavusoglu or Fori Jorge ...

            launched today another reusable manned spacecraft on a reusable booster (which booster was once again successfully planted for subsequent use). As always, from a height of 150 km - to the drone barge, straight to the point. I watched the report - a fantasy, they made a fairy tale come true. It seems that this is not the first time I look - but still, fantastic.

    I have one question - to what extent do we hear the "voice" of the CSTO in the world? Why shouldn't these initiatives be pedaled in the SCO, the UN, the EU, or is Russia's presence in all these organizations purely decorative? If we want to be "heard", we must present it in such a way that we are sure to be heard by EVERYONE, even if they plug their ears!

      If we want to be "heard"

      then we must have a GDP at least like Germany, and this GDP must be provided not by raw materials, but by high technologies. And since Russia has a GDP like Brazil (where, as you know from the famous movie masterpiece, "Many Wild Monkeys"), and the level of science and technology is approximately the same as that of Brazil, then Russia's political weight on the world stage is approximately equal to that of Brazil.

    Parity with the United States in space is fundamentally unattainable for the CSTO. Different weight categories. Moreover, this difference in weight categories will only increase in the future.

    Is it because they are so against the militarization of outer space that they may not be able to pull it out? Now, a Soviet tub with a wartime autocannon will no longer be able to ride. A kubsat with endless resolution cameras is much more useful. But to do this, you need a truly developed science, industry and personally electronics. But it is difficult to clean up these Avdeyev stables, it is much easier to gnaw at the Soviet legacy and suck gas - therefore, in order not to sit in a puddle in front of the entire civilized world (they will laugh at the slightly shaken Almaz), we have to speak against space weapons.

      The arms race is already underway there, the United States and Russia already have weapons there, both sides are worried, the United States is no less worried about us, because the USSR did not show such developments. So you write nonsense. I will not go into details.

      These, as you put it, "great space powers", as part of the USSR, launched the first satellite of the Earth and the first man into space. They are just as involved in this as the entire Soviet people. What have you done?
