And we even made a whole movie about Kessler syndrome :|
Enjoy spreading misinformation online? There are valid criticisms against LEO constellations but Kessler syndrome is not one of them
Which is exactly why Russia only needs a handful of rockets at most. You only need to make debris. The rest will sort itself out.
But that is a strategic capability, not a tactical one. It's another form of MAD.
Russia has nothing in that LEO orbit (that I'm aware of... I could be horrendously wrong). I don't think there's anything "mutually assured" here.
