- dredmorbius 5y agoA/K/A "rods from God" / orbital kinetic kill. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_bombardment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_bombardment Possible, though problematic.
- iso1210 5y agoI'd love to know if they've ever been tested in reality. If succesful (especially as a first strike), you could theoretically launch from a high apogee using cold gas to adjust your heading, and have plausible deniability.
- dredmorbius 5y agoAFAICT no.
