    How do you know that? You’re launching an entire rocket to kill one satellite, that can’t be cheap.

        I don’t think it is… one of the satellites cost USD 250k in 2019. it is likely cheaper now.

        There have been Anti Satellite Weapon tests (for example from China) to see if it is feasible. The cost for such an attack would be much much higher than 250k (we are talking multiple millions)
