The only way i see orbital kinetic weapon being worthwhile is being used as global missile defense system akin to Golden dome/star wars, where satellite launches kinetic kill weapon at BM being launched, where the trajectory still rather predictable.

News flash, it takes energy to deorbit projectiles. It isn’t as easy as “dropping sticks”. You’d need some propellant to do that, which makes it a rocket and makes you wonder why not just fire it from the ground and add a useful warhead on it. Congratulations, you reinvented the ballistic missile.

China has merged the Army Logistics College and Army Transport College to form the new Joint Logistics Support Force Engineering University. The main campus and headquarters will be located in Chongqing, with satellite campuses in Tianjin and Benghu (Anhui). The university will service the entire military and all of its branches by training personnel in all areas of logistics.

Should be Bengbu(Anhui), my father entered that college there 40 years ago.
The whole college was focused on logistic via trucks and related maintaining and management.
My father told me that on the day of graduate, all students formed a fleet of traucks and traveled through half of China. When they passed by each military base on the route, some of the them were left there to serve.
My father was among the last remaining group who went all the way include inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Xizang and finally stopped at Shenzhen, which just started to develop.

A variation of Brilliant Pebbles using orbital debris as ammunition is a viable option for MIRV defense (especially given the prevalence of such materiel), but the best option would be a dual purpose scalable orbital solar laser array system, since that can strike both boost phase missiles and perform orbital bombardment of planetary surface targets.
