Russian military: 'Space troops not yet ready to fight aliens’
Quite a valid question actually. If you're looking outwards and have a military wing, then what exactly do you expect them to train for.......except stopping humans getting in and damaging/stealing your equipment.
In a surprising move, an apparently serious journalist raised this question of extraterrestrial security during a media conference at the Titov Main Test and Space Systems Control Center near Moscow, Russia’s main satellite control center.
“So far we are not capable of that. We are unfortunately not ready to fight extraterrestrial civilizations,” the center’s deputy chief Sergey Berezhnoy explained.
“Our center was not tasked with it. There are too many problems on Earth and near it,” he added.
