- sfeng 4y agoThe US has anti-satellite missiles, for example the RIM-161 [1]. That said, I would guess an AIM-120 [2] air-to-air missile wouldn't have any trouble given it can go Mach 4, I'm guessing a few miles up isn't the hardest thing. 1 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIM-161_Standard_Missile_3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIM-161_Standard_Missile_3 2 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIM-120_AMRAAM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIM-120_AMRAAM
