>For example, one such assumption is, given that Russian space forces have relied primarily on reversible or “soft kill” counter-space systems, and not on “hard kill” weapons systems like anti-satellite (ASAT) missiles, the future of space warfighting will be based on such “soft kill” options. This is a dangerous assumption to make. It is especially unwise to base the national security space strategies and posture of the United States on such a view.

Yeah wtf I 100% agree with the author. It seems unrealistic to hope that adversaries wouldn't try to knock out the entire satellite system. That's a massive capability gap for the US.
