      Enjoy spreading misinformation online? There are valid criticisms against LEO constellations but Kessler syndrome is not one of them

        Did you read the comment? It’s not about LEO satellites. It’s about a military arsenal destroying a fleet of LEO satellites. The satellites won’t do a Kessler, but a fleets worth of shrapnel would be a problem.

      Which is exactly why Russia only needs a handful of rockets at most. You only need to make debris. The rest will sort itself out.

        But that is a strategic capability, not a tactical one. It’s another form of MAD.

          Russia has nothing in that LEO orbit (that I’m aware of I could be horrendously wrong). I don’t think there’s anything “mutually assured” here.
