Isnt that why the US has the X-37B with a reusable nudging weapon to push satellites out of orbit? I don't think it would be wise for Russia to try to take out satellites when the US can push back ;)

Who knows. If Russia targets Ukrainian SAR satellites, the US might not feel compelled to retaliate with an expensive spaceplane mission.
