Weapons research, "rods form god"

[PaulM 16]

This is an interesting article. Very simple kinetic bombs from space that would detonate like a nuke. I've seen video of amateur rockets reaching near low earth orbit. If someone had such a vehicle and a rod or two, they might be quite a threat.

Yah, they use these in one of the PS4 Black Ops games.  I believe it is Ghost Recon? ?

There is suppose to be a video of a Pentagon press conference from the late 70s where the spokesman let it slip that we had them deployed then.  Footage was classified immediately but was declassified not long later to intimidate the Chicoms and Soviets.  Who knows what is deployed up there now.
