If you're actively shooting down enemy satellites it's not a cold war 
any more. You've just started a "hot" war with the explicit condition 
that your enemy is going to have an intact sensor net for X years after 
the war is declared. If you're depending on stealth to win it this isn't 
a good position to be in.
