I think you're right on here. Aircraft(probably UAVs) skimming the upper atmosphere or stationary platforms with kinetic projectiles are coming, it's just a matter of time. From what I've read about this, a platform launching three or four 100kg rods from space will definitely ruin someone's day! Wonder what the actual blast/shock radius of that would be?

That stationary platform was featured on the cover of Popular Science about three years ago.
