Would be very useful if Iran were putting its war satellites at the right Lagrange Point. Otherwise, not so much. |

Some hint of a method might be nice. |

Sending something crashing into the sun is a lot harder than it sounds. You need a large gravity well you can place in the right spot to ensure its demise. Or a ray thingie. |

By far the best and most economical way to “getting rid of war satellites” is to burn them up right here on earth on their launch pads. I understand your reticence to starting a global conflict by avoiding a terribly dirty battle right here on earth by removing the conflict somewhere far away, but the consequences would be the same eventually. |

Maybe a Stealth Satellite Blinder? |
