The article stated that they have a "modified" missile they are going to
launch from a naval ship in the Pacific. The questions I have is what
altitude will the missile intercept the satellite and how long have we
been working on this "modified" missile?

I can't see us coming up with a "modified" missile, launched from a
surface vessel, in just a couple of months that is capable of
intercepting an object in space.

I believe this is an opportunity to flex our muscles.

Old technology. We've been able to bring down satellites since the
mid-80s.

I'd be more impressed if they did it with a rail gun.

Whoo Hoo!!! :)
