In Russia, anti-satellite warfare complexes are being developed.

Russia continues to work on the creation of anti-satellite warfare systems. As examples of such complexes, the following were named: the Kontakt anti-space complex based on the MiG-31 fighter-interceptor, the A60 Sokol-Eshelon combat laser system based on the Il-76 transport aircraft and the Peresvet combat laser system.

The development of a new aircraft-based complex designed to destroy low-orbit spacecraft is based on the existing scientific and technical reserve and newly developed technologies. Work on a similar system based on the MiG-31D carrier aircraft and the 79M6 Kontakt missile has been underway since 1984. In 2009, the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force announced the ongoing work on the creation of an air-based anti-satellite missile system, which was "reanimated" to solve the tasks of anti-satellite defense.

The A-60 laser weapon carrier aircraft based on the Il-76MD transport aircraft began to be created in the USSR, and the first flight of the A-60 flying laboratory took place in 1981. According to open sources, the aircraft was supposed to carry a megawatt combat laser on board to destroy low-flying satellites. In 2016, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov stated that the development of the A-60 complex was progressing. In 2020, TNTK im. Berieva issued a patent for the developed carrier aircraft of the combat laser system, including a computer model of the aircraft based on the military transport Il-76MD-90A.

Thus, Russia continues to work on the creation of anti-satellite warfare systems, including the development of the Kontakt anti-space complex based on the MiG-31 and combat laser systems based on the Il-76 aircraft.

These anti-satellite warfare systems can be used to defend against enemy spacecraft, as well as to destroy targets on the ground. The use of combat laser systems makes it possible to destroy enemy low-flying satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles.
