It seems that they knew the consequences of hitting something in space, and
all the debris issue.

*“Today, I can say that all the building blocks (for an ASAT weapon) are in

place. A little fine tuning may be required but we will do that
electronically. We will not do a physical test (actual destruction of a
satellite) because of the risk of space debris affecting other satellites,”
the former DRDO chief had told India Today in 2012.*

*On Wednesday, current DRDO chairman G Satheesh Reddy, according to news
agency ANI, said, “We have mastered anti-satellite capability and we have
today shown that we can hit satellites at long ranges with a few
centimetres accuracy.” *

They shot down a *micro satellite*. It would be better if they publish what
they have exactly done. This technology may even be used in clearing out
space debris.

Look at this chart from November 2018 Orbital Debris Quarterly News

If you compare all the charts from past decade, Everyone is getting better
at handling the debris. They either park it or burn it down the atmosphere.
Lets hope for the best for all the organizations, and hope that everyone
follows the debris protocols.
