RUSSIA is set to launch nuclear weapons into space in a “grave” threat to the world’s security, say US intelligence.
The US described the shocking move as a “serious security threat” and Joe Biden is thought to be on high alert.

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.
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 the intelligence in a statement to the public.
He called on Biden to share it with the public.
Sources told ABC News that the intelligence had to do with Moscow seeking to put a nuclear weapon in space.
The weapon would not be used against targets on the ground, the sources said, but described the intelligence as “very concerning and very sensitive”.
