Rods from God. Imagine if a country had a robotic space plane that could maneuver in orbit for months at a time, and enough payload capacity to hold several dozen (guess) Tungsten rods.

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?

The X-37 is being kept in orbit longer than expected, and Iran keeps having mishaps at its weapons facilities.
