Fears have started to grow that the Russian weapons system could be used to target Western satellites in space.

These could potentially knock out communications networks and military targeting systems.

The weapon isn’t thought to be getting used against Russian enemies on the ground if it does end up happening.

US president Joe Biden is thought to be tracking the horror threat although it hasn’t been described as “immediate” yet, according to White House sources.

Republican Mike Turner, the head of the House intelligence committee, revealed the existence of worrying intelligence in a statement to the public.

He called on Biden to share the concern publically.

The intelligence had to do with Moscow wanting to put a nuclear weapon in space, sources told ABC News.

The sources also described the intelligence as “very concerning and very sensitive”.
