There's been something niggling at me in the back of my mind about why that seems unlikely, to me.

I think I finally realized what it is. There's no evidence that I can see in any of the pics of that kind of force hitting that landscape.

imho, there would be SOME degree of a concave crater(s) showing on the surface from the 'rods from God.' I don't see any.

On the contrary, the mountain appears to have collapsed from within--as one might expect from overly compromised nuked caverns deep within.

Any geologists on here who could check my impression out, please?

Lasers from above? Probably far-fetched as that requires tremendous energy.

Not necessarily on the crater.

If this attack was done by a so called Rods From God weapon, then the operative type of ordnance is kinetic which gets its destructive power from pure velocity and mass with velocity being the super main factor. Think of a 20’ long x 12” diameter dart launched from a satellite.

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 the mass * velocity ^2. So you can see the real bang comes from the velocity factor.

The long rod penetrator rounds delivered from the business end of our M1 Abrams tanks smoke along at a nifty 5,100 feet per second (3,400 MPH) and simply punch a hole in an enemy’s tank hull. But once inside, that penetrator spalls metal everywhere, rattles around causing all kinds of hell to cut loose. Included in that would be detonation of some of the rounds in there.

So these Rods From God...well when cut loose from a satellite are doing orbit velocity. However, dropping through the atmosphere toward earth they slow from air friction...their low cross section helps to minimize the speed loss. In theory the Rod will end up hitting a target doing a real sweet Mach 10...about 7,200 MPH !!!

So...it’s plausible a huge hyper fast kinetic penetrator burrowed hundreds of feet below the surface, breached a huge concrete weaponry dome and cooked-off God knows what all down there.

Implosion.

A kinetic penetrator like that would probably punch straight in. Using our earth tomography capability the area of the complex most likely to house something like fuel storage could be targeted and most of the mayhem would occur inside with a swoosh of dust and debris out the tunnel entrance and ventilation shafts.

Yeah I wondered about that, but I am assuming something that penetrates really deep, not just falling from space but being propelled... like undetectable?? Remember the high radiation reported all over Europe by MSM... Even I thought Russia had done something somewhere when I heard it.

If you push a needle into a pincushion, does it leave an indentation?
