In response to the US accusation that Russia's space test threatens outer space activities, the Russian Ministry of Defense issued a statement on the 16th that Russia's space test on the 15th will not pose a threat to on orbit space stations, spacecraft and space activities. The statement said that the Russian Defense Ministry successfully conducted a space test on the 15th and destroyed a "virgin land-d" satellite that has been in orbit since 1982 but has been abandoned at present. The debris of the destroyed satellite has been listed in the directory of Russia's outer space monitoring system and continuously tracked until these debris no longer exist. On the 15th, the US space command accused Russia of producing a large number of "traceable orbital debris" in this test, which will pose a threat to human outer space activities for several years. NASA officials also said on the 15th that the astronauts of the international space station had to take emergency safety measures because a large amount of satellite debris was produced by Russia's space test. In its statement, the Russian Defense Ministry responded that the United States knows exactly that, according to the test time and orbital parameters, the debris generated has not and will not pose a threat to on orbit space stations, spacecraft and space activities. According to Tass News Agency on the 16th, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on the same day that the United States should not make groundless accusations against Russia on the issue of space tests, but should sit at the negotiating table to discuss its concerns in this field.
