Yeah, the nuke in space would be for use on satellites, not on Earth.

Lol no. For this you use small rockets. Price of nuke: tens of $Millions, price of rocket: less than $1000.

You do not explode a nuke in outer space, you either drop it onto an area, casing destruction or you exlode the nuke inside the upper atmosphere, trying to NEMP military defence objects (which, by now, people know how to protect against NEMPs).

See the post before yours and tell that America cause they're the ones who saying it is possibly for use on satellites

But you can explode a nuke in outer space, literally nothing stopping anyone from doing that from a technical standpoint but there's a reason there's an international treaty to not store nukes in outer space and Russia ain't going to use a bunch of dingy rockets to individually take down hundreds-thousands of satellites one at a time when they could theoretically do it in one swoop.

*Clarification, I don't believe Russia is going to do this, they haven't even put a nuke in space yet, the leak is that they're considering doing it.
