A good shove being about 250m/s of delta v? Perhaps more to be certain of where you’re landing. Not exactly trivial or stealthy.

Why not just load up some nuclear waste on your “shoving device” and launch that exactly where you want?

its all up there already, all you need is access, haxd or authd, and you have a dirty bomb from orbit, and the requirement to orient to the threat.

and it could be done more than once if the killer satellite survives
