THE SPACEPLANE'S SMALL CARGO or "Q-bay" also could be configured to deliver specialized microsatellites to low Earth orbit or, perhaps, be fitted with no-warhead hypervelocity weapons--what military visionaries have called "rods from god." Launched from the fringes of space, these high-Mach weapons could destroy deeply buried bunkers and weapons facilities

Once in orbit, this system can reach any target on the entire planet within about 30-50 minutes. Abinajab (or whatever that iraniac kooks name is) couldn't even finish takin a crap before one of these birds launched and was overhead targeting him with hypervelocity rods.
