As I wrote earlier[0], it does not make much sense to build a dedicated satellite destruction weapon residing in orbit (assuming we are talking about LEO). Ground and air based systems are cheaper and much more flexible. And the acceleration of the smaller satellite is laughable, you get much higher relative velocity by simply having a different orbit inclination. So to me it looks simply like a continuation of the US smear campaign against Russia. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23934552 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23934552
