Air force has missiles that can shoot down satelites, as does the Navy. Presumably the Air National Guard could be similarly equipped.

Why not just strafe it with an F-16? It would be good training and if not hit too hard, it might descend slow enough not to damage the spy equipment and we could box it up

If not, there's got to be any number of options to decommission the damn thing all the way up to total physical demolition.
