WW3: US satellites could be attacked by China and Russia space weapons – Daily Star

THE US could see all their defences destroyed thanks to state-of-the-art "space weaponry" capable of taking out essential satellites.

World War 3 tensions between the US, North Korea, China and Russia have risen constantly over the last few months, with matters worsening after Kim Jong-un fired yet another missile on Sunday (May 14).

Kim Jong-un has now ordered North Korea to brace itself for an imminent missile attack from the US.

The paranoid tyrant has commanded forces to build protective walls in case of a missile blitz from the US Navy.

But American senator Ted Cruz urgently revealed that the US might be hopeless if World War 3 broke out, thanks to terrifying cyber-attack technology.

The development that other countries are making in space weaponry, to take out our communication equipment, is truly chilling

"The development that other countries are making in space weaponry, to take out our communication equipment, is truly chilling," said Cruz, who once battled President Donald Trump to be Republican leader.

"I will tell you, some of the classified briefings would take your breath away at the potential threats we face," he added

And an attack would affect every technology-dependent citizen in the states.

A chilling CNN video available above shows the mayhem a "stealth cyber attack" will cause if it sweeps through America.

The nightmare scenario shows cash machines, computers and television suddenly freeze and go blank.

Traffic jams pile up, grinding the usually bustling cities to a halt.

Mobile phone services fail, the financial district powers down and the US's military communications with drones become impossible.

Cruz broke the news on Tuesday (May 16) at the "On the Launchpad: Return to Deep Space" event organised by The Atlantic magazine in Washington, D.C.

General John Hyten, head of US Strategic Command, told CNN: "As humans go out there, there has always been conflict.

"Conflict in the Wild West as we move in the West. Conflict twice in Europe for its horrible world wars.

"So every time humans actually physically move into that, there's conflict and in that case, we'll have to be prepared for that."

America is the most dependent country on space technology, with China and Russia close behind them.
