Oh yeah, of course I forgot.

SM3 has whacked a bunch of satellites in orbit.

IIRC, the Ethan Allen has quite a record of sat-swatting.

I think the USN has pretty much demonstrated that it can take out any satellite it wants at any time, at least in LEO.

A bunch? I think one so far and it was in a pretty low orbit.
