Ukraine Creates Its Own SPACE FORCE—And Russia Is Watching

21 min•9 november 2026

Om avsnittet

BEHOLD UKRAINIAN SPACE FORCE: I examine Ukraine’s 252–0 parliamentary vote to establish Space Forces within its armed forces—a long-term effort to build reconnaissance satellites, independent communications, and defenses against threats such as Russia’s Orishnik missile. Coming after reported Starlink restrictions, I look at why the Obria Nano launch with Denmark’s GomSpace, the first step in a planned 245-satellite network, matters for reducing dependence on a single external provider.


I also assess Europe’s dwindling PAC-2 and PAC-3 interceptor stocks, Germany’s prospective 600 PAC-2 deliveries in 2027–28, and Finland’s new defense-production agreements with Ukraine. Beyond the battlefield, I cover Moldova’s 158-kilometer electricity link to Romania, Baltic border preparations, the British- and French-led Coalition of the Willing exercise in Poland, Russian AI-altered propaganda videos, mobilization rumors, and Trump’s 60 Minutes comments on a possible settlement. The stakes are whether Ukraine and Europe can turn short-term vulnerability into durable resilience.
