Russia created a sensation by testing the ‘PL-19’ Nudol anti-satellite missile in 2015. The Russian military officials had then announced that this ‘PL-19’ had the capacity to target satellites in deep space. Russia conducted the second test of the missile within the next one year.
The US had accused Russia of violating the cold war treaty with it, by testing the anti-satellite missile. However, Russia had ignored the accusations.
