Hand Of God Tungsten Rod at Dorthy Reed blog

Hand Of God Tungsten Rod. It seems the 3000 square foot area destruction estimate seems low. Upon impact with a military concrete stronghold at breakneck speeds, the tungsten rod ignites a maelstrom of kinetic energy, culminating in a scorching shockwave that melds and compresses the target material, metamorphosing it into plasma. These rods would be deployed towards earth, gaining speed as they descend due to the pull of gravity. A darpa rendering depicts a supersonic conventional weapon as it emerges from its rocket nose. Not quite jerry pournelle’s ‘rods from god,’ but just as terrifying. What goes up must come down. The idea behind the ‘rods from god’ is strikingly simple: One warhead would be designed to destroy or disable area targets like airfields or buildings, using a reentry vehicle loaded with tungsten rods—known as flechettes—that would rain down on the target and destroy everything within an area of up to 3,000 square feet. Project thor will see telephone pole sized tungsten rods, 20 feet long and 1 foot in diameter, dropped from american satellites to strike hardened bunkers and underground nuclear complexes. The weapon consists of a pair of satellites, one of which houses a series of tungsten rods, each about 20 feet long and one foot in diameter.
