Would it be possible to rapidly induce a Kessler Syndrome to defend against ballistic missile attack? Could it allow friendly missiles to launch and hit their target before the debris field would be over enemy territory given that a missile can hit most targets in 30 minutes and a half-orbit takes around 45 minutes? Alternatively, could a Kessler Syndrome be confined to a short duration (few weeks or even months) low altitude event that would avoid damaging high altitude satellites?
