Does a nuke from orbit generate more destruction than a suborbital nuke?
- science4sail 2y agoProbably similar given the same yield unless the bomber has some way to utilize the kinetic energy of the orbit. The difference though is that a nuking from orbit has less chance of retaliation since the aggressor is no longer on the same planet (unless the victim has ASAT weapons).
