"The United States does not give permission to the European company Airbus to supply Russia with a payload module (MPN) with relay equipment for the Angolan satellite AngoSat-2 due to the presence of an American electronic component base in it," RIA Novosti quotes its source.
According to the source, this is due to the fact that since May 2021, the United States has banned the supply of American space electronics to Russia, which falls under the requirements of the ITAR rules for the export of defense goods and services.
On May 1, US Space Force Commander Air Force General John Raymond said Russia and China had developed weapons that could disrupt or even destroy US satellites.
