Kinetic attacks
Parent: T2028
Description
Attackers can use anti-satellite (ASAT) missiles, or other kinetic energy threats, to attack a resource from the ground or from a plane, without the needs of an orbit insertion. Counterspace weapons are characterized by an easily attribution and the generation of space debris. These systems could include payloads such as kinetic kill vehicles, radiofrequency jammers, lasers, chemical sprayers, high-power microwaves, and robotic mechanisms. This last technology is developed to repair satellites or to remove space debris, but its use can be malicious. A nuclear explosion can also be used against all the space segments.

T2028.012 'Kinetic attacks' explicitly covers ASAT missiles and kinetic energy threats from ground or plane — direct match to EX-0017 Kinetic Physical Attack parent.
T2028.012 'Kinetic attacks' explicitly names ASAT missiles launched from the ground — direct match to EX-0017.01 Direct Ascent ASAT (medium- or long-range missile from Earth to damage/destroy a satellite in orbit).
