If true, use the Rods from God before the pyscho NK’s attack us or an ally!
LLSS even though we’ve been discussing this for years.
Jerks won’t see what blew ‘em up.
I remember that this was talked about during Desert Storm but never utilized. Makes me wonder if it’s a psyop weapon.
Rods from God, a convenient device for Sci-Fy writers when words fail making other tech believable. Never say never, but this is nothing but speculation.
Hope so.
These are a game changer. No defense possible. No fallout. Very targeted. No neighboring countries experiencing collateral damage.
If we get these, we need to use these as a PRIMARY means of waging war. No boots on the ground. No nation building. If you mess with us, we start vaporizing parts of your country. So just don’t mess with us.
No reason for it to be relegated to that. The principle is sound.
I am very grateful I am on our side...
Imagine what else we have that is not being talked about.
What if we have 3D metallic printers in orbit that can print them? And robots that can fasten guided propulsion jets?
the calculation of TNT equivalents may be off by
3 orders of magnitude.
Imagine how many times we would have used nuclear weapons by now if they were basically just really, REALLY big bombs with no radiation whatsoever.
i.e. if this thing exists, it’ll get used.
No radiation but, these do cause blew eyes.
Uhhh...
Specifically, UNDERSTATED by 2 or three orders of magnitude.
Should we have lots of these ready to go? Probably - but consider how the deployment such weapons would have fit into the world view of the previous incumbent President.
I thought this was going to be an article about the Olds 4-4-2.
...also it lowers the bar for possession of WMD's quite a bit. The ability to launch large satellites into orbit is quite a bit easier for bad actor nations to achieve than nuclear armed ICBMs.
Nice, but 1st strike isn’t the issue.
The 160 mile long shared border contains thousands of buried artillery and rocket rounds capable of being delivered South in about 4 minutes.
There are no non-nuclear solutions to effectively neutralizing this threat in time to avoid mass casualties in the South.
This assumes that such a response is triggered nearly automatically, in spite of senior leadership decapitation.
But there are fewer caves to hid them in. :-)
Or Rods from Hell, a 2003 F250 V10 tune up.
