Probably not. I think we were sending a loud and clear message to Russia and China. Does anyone know how our shoot down compares to China’s shoot down last year?
Just curious.

"Probably not. I think we were sending a loud and clear message to Russia and China. Does anyone know how our shoot down compares to China’s shoot down last year?" I think that we're telling them that we can launch orbital vehicles from just about any large mobile platform that we want and that we can replenish our vital military space assets faster than they can shoot them down. Additionally, we can shoot your's down much faster than you can replace them. Very cool.

I believe that their target was still in it’s stable orbit, so they knew exactly where it was.
It could also have been still broadcasting some kind of signal that would allow it to be homed in on.
