Which makes it interesting in regards to my joint ASAT/ABM test
speculation; if you want to do ABM kill vehicle tests without having to
get the funding for them, then a test against a object that may well
resemble a balloon-encased warhead as well as a target satellite,

Except... A balloon encased warhead won't resemble the ASAT target at
all.

and that is in an elliptical orbit that may well simulate a section of a
ICBM's flight trajectory is a great way to kill two birds with one stone.

Except... Such an orbit resembles an ICBM trajectory not at all.
