>Meanwhile, Russia’s own space objects database will go online “at any
rate,” as the country already has enough telescopes, radars and
observation stations to detect any human-made body orbiting Earth, the
report claimed.

“Our network spots approximately 40 percent more [space] objects than
you can find in open American databases,” Igor Molotov, senior research
fellow of the Russian Academy of Sciences, told the newspaper.

“We have several times more telescopes … than NORAD,” he said, adding
that Russian observation stations are able of covering larger areas of
space because of better weather conditions.<
