> Russia is trying to determine if the US is useing these particular satelites for real time targeting and weapons direction on Russians, in Russia, which if true,then makes it there absolute right to destroy the sattelite weapons systems, and legaly target there operators, wherever they might be. Would that actually be true? How does delayed vs realtime change if they are legitimate targets?

one is meerly satelite info that is evaulated for strategic or even tactical information use, the other is a literal weapons system component used for killing humans,in a situation that would otherwise be impossible without the satelite, which is an act of war, ie: "killchain", with no proxy , but the false claim of lack of resonsibility. the case in point likely involves drones that are fired from mainland europe into russia, with complete american command and control, but atributed to ukrain, which if russia can prove conclusivly, will then have consequences, legal and military, though of course, as usual, everybody will blame somebody else, and nobody will admit anything

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.
