They have “weapons” in space. To be honest likely some EW or jammer, similar to what we have on earth. I doubt they have Rods from God or Orbital Strike

But yeah it’s possible it could be like a close range grappler or launch a projectile to take out enemy satellites I mean who knows

We've had anti-satellite weapons for a while now. It's called the F-15.

SAMs are usually more effective rather than having it be launched by a plane. But I imagine satellites are incredibly effective at electronic warfare since no atmosphere. It would basically be an “orbital strike” if they use a laser or something to target other things in orbit.
