The objects first attracted attention for their unusual manoeuvrability which led some to suspect they were weapons, but they appeared to lay dormant for almost two years.
Now the spacecraft have sprung back into action, raising concerns that the Kremlin is stepping up its space race.
The agile craft, dubbed Kosmos-2491, -2499 and -2504, were smuggled into space under the cover of the routine launch of communications satellites.
In March, Komsos-2504 suddenly resumed its manoeuvres, showing the first signs of life since October 2015.
Last month the craft passed within 1,183 metres of a defunct Chinese weather satellite, extremely close in astronomical terms.
And Kosmos-2499 was also seen undertaking some strange movements of its own in recent months.

The trio of craft, which were launched between 2013 and 2015, caught the attention of armed forces in the west after they were spotted making a series of similar nimble manoeuvres.

To help us with the two NK emp-sats?
Nah.
For that they wanted the football.
Seriously, they blinked on because the xp37 is going back up, this time with party favors.
Now you have done it! The Compost and Ny Slimes and ABCNNBCBS and Faux news will be quoting your remarks as another unnamed source to impeach Trump because this is another evil Trump/Russian deal!
xp37......was that the predecessor of the p38?
Do you mean the plane or the can opener?
Vlad can practice on North Korea.
