"Rods From God" were purely un-powered gravity-drop kinetic -- just huge shafts of tungsten, etc. No warhead attached. They were to be dropped from space. It was determined to be impractical and no, we don't have that already.

Yes, but with extra submunitions.

Yes, but they all have "OUT OF ORDER" signs on them. We haven't been able to send anyone up to maintain them. We can't even rescue the stranded astronauts on the SS. (Meant as humor, true or not)

This is Rods from God but mounted on a missile instead.

This is a genuine issue, that they have them but we don't.

We got caught flat-footed.
