How would Russia's anti-satellite space weapon work?
Sources tell CBS News the U.S. has been tracking Russia's development of a nuclear-capable anti-satellite weapon in space. Dr. Francesca Giovannini, executive director of the Harvard Belfer Center's Project on Managing the Atom, joins CBS News to discuss how the weapon could work in practice.

Likely disrupt or disable rather than blow them up (as the Kessler Effect would also affect their own sateliites)...and they can already do that with ground based systems. But we have the Boeing X-37, also known as the Orbital Test Vehicle, which is our reusable robotic spacecraft, that can be used to takeout their satellites, so this is most likely their counter to this.

Taking out a satellite system could cripple countries. Leaving them more vulnerable to a ground attack..
If it is based on their moon lander technology maybe it crashes into something? Even if the explosives turn out to be potatoes it would still have mass.
We will find out...
bottom line - no protection
It'll probably be of comparable quality to the other military equipment they produce. Over-priced and completely ineffective.
