French Defense Minister Florance Parley said that the Russian reconnaissance satellite approached the French-Italian satellite and tried to intercept his signals, the BBC.

"This is called espionage," the minister said.. According to her, it was a Russian satellite of radio-electronic reconnaissance "Luch-Olimp".

She added that France managed to protect all communications of the satellite "Atena-Fidus", which allows the armies of France and Italy to exchange classified information.

Florance Parley said that in the future France carefully followed the trajectory of the satellite "Luch-Olimp", and noticed that he "continued to actively approach other objects".

France is now developing a new strategy for space defense. According to Florance Parley, many states are already experimenting with aggressive technologies, and France should be ready for this.
