I was curious what altitude you could start to see debris injection into orbit and even after really massaging the numbers, I can only get about 4 km/s fragment velocity for a Shahab-5 made of HMX and magic out of Gurney equations, which puts the the lower bound for orbit at something like 18k km altitude (2k km below the GLONASS constellation).
