Kina sköt ju ner av sina egna satelliter i början på året, bara för att visa att det går. Vissa menar att det där kan vem som helst göra, bara man har tillgång till halv-distansrakter och några fysikstudenter:

Accuracy and elegance are not issues in carrying out a satellite attack, the researchers say, as long as the projectile hits the satellite. In fact, all it would take to succeed with an amateurish, yet effective anti-satellite attack would be the control of an intermediate range missile, which is well within the reach of many nations and organizations with sufficient funds, and a college-level team dedicated to the cause.
