Can you refer me to any "world space treaties" that prohibit satellite hunters? I used to design orbital weapons and no such treaties were ever mentioned as a constraint.
There's the outer space treaty , OOSA, and others. What is forbidden is hostile damaging of satellites that cause debris to interfere with other objects on orbit or potential harm to people on the ground
The Outer Space Treaty is old news. The only prohibition is the placement of "nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction" in orbit. And, "States shall be liable for damage caused by their space objects..."
The treaty therefore prohibits a Fractional Orbit Bombing System (FOBS).
Sat hunting (destroying) violates world space treaties (as if anyone follows them) but sabotage is A-OK
