The rods from God program is metric tonnes, and it spins just like a bullet, only faster. Yes,nits traveling a much longer distance, but its got so much kinetic energy its not being diverted in the same way
That is if it wouldn't be to easy to break the satellite, or use the launch resources more effectively.
It's a stupid, inefficient fucking idea. No country will ever implement "rods from god" on a major scale, because the cost/benefit ratio is fucking terrible. For every tungsten telephone pole you could put up 20 hydrogen bombs with more than 10,000+ times the destructive force each in a guided projectile that hits exactly where you want it to. Quit your little sci fi circle jerk. It's not going to happen.
Yes. But it wouldn't miss because of wind or any of the other nonsensical stupid reasons
