Tridents can reach mach 19. Orbital velocity is more like mach 100.
Not that the UK manufactures trident missiles anyway.

27720km/h orbital velocity is Mach 22.4 at a sea level speed of sound

Orbital velocity is nowhere near mach 100.

You don't need orbital velocity to blow satellites away. Just do a well-timed suborbital launch against the satellite's orbit, and the satellite will provide most of the kinetic energy.
