I bet this is from that satellite they stupidly blew up in 2021.

We told them the cloud would be a problem, but it's Russians and they're stupid fucks.

China and the US have also blown up satellites in orbit...

Funny how we also haven't damaged our own modules repeatedly. We know what can happen if too much debris collects, pointing at US early efforts is a bit ridiculous. Last time we did it was... 1985. From an f-15 in low orbit, meaning no debris in the upper atmosphere. Russia was 2021 and its already fucking up their space missions.

Last time we did this was...2008. And how would an F-15 be in low orbit? The satellite was in low Earth orbit.

We also do not know if this is a result of the satellite test my dude. I think what Russia did was stupid, but damn, American craft have been hit by debris. See STS-7

You’d bet because you’re an idiot. The trajectories of satellite debris are largely known. If it was likely to be that they’d have said so. Also, the first thing I read about this said the leak was on the trailing side of the spacecraft. If correct that means it’s far more likely to be something coming in from deep space, moving faster than orbital speed.
