    why would you need a Nuke against a satellite? youd think a good laser would do pretty well in close proximity with a lot less debris

      Widespread EMP could take out many satellites at once.

      A nuclear detonation is just the only practical way to generate a giant one.

      The magic part is that you launch the nuke through the satellite, then it falls back to earth on top of your enemy.

      Or perhaps the debris is the point?

      I mean… The nuke would work though

      Too big and too high power requirements

      russians need some margin when aiming. they always hit kindergardens, when they aim for military facilities. /s
