If the X-37 has anti-satellite capabilities, it's probably nothing like the Chinese ASATs. Satellites are very fragile, and it would be very easy to disable one

If the X-37 has anti-satellite capabilities, it's probably nothing like the Chinese ASATs. Satellites are very fragile, and it would be very easy to disable one by punching a hole in a heat-shield or cooling system. The X-37 could also place small sabotage tools on or near adversary satellites, for future activation in the event of a conflict.
