Weapon Scarier Than the Nuclear Bomb.
The US Air Force in 2003 proposed a tungsten rod weapon that could go Mach 10, hitting the planet with kinetic energy equivalent to 11.5 tons of TNT. Such a weapon would be extremely difficult to defend against and would not require explosive warheads.
Colloquially termed, Rods from God, this type of kinetic energy penetrator, KEP, would theoretically consist of a pair of satellites. One serves as a targeting hub, and the other is equipped with 6-meter-long, 20-feet,ungsten rods that would be dropped on a target from orbit. Capable of penetrating hundreds of feet into the Earth’s crust, these thunderbolts from Thor would produce damage equivalent to a nuclear blast. Although the cost of getting such rods into orbit is considered prohibitive, orbital bombardment systems with conventional warheads are permitted under SALT II, and some have proposed using large tungsten carbide or uranium-ceramide rods rather than explosive.
