Given that USA has 10X the number of orbital launches as Russia, sacrificing 4 satellites to destroy 1 American sat doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

What are these units relating the rate of use of fuel: m/s? Is it the velocity of expelled reaction gas?

    I think that's delta-v.

      I’ll take your word for it; I’m not familiar with satellite-speak.

      But to me,

      “In this case, the fuel required to conduct such a maneuver is ~105-106m/sec”

      means that they’re talking about a quantity of fuel, but giving a velocity.
