Tungsten Rod Of God at William Stork blog

Tungsten Rod Of God. A hypersonic space weapon concept, nicknamed “rods from god”, which was first dreamed up during the cold war, might not be as effective as previously thought, according to a new study. These rods would be deployed towards earth, gaining speed as they descend due to the pull of gravity. What they didn’t count on was the u.s. The moniker “rods from god” draws inspiration from biblical plagues of destruction descending. Not quite jerry pournelle’s ‘rods from god,’ but just as terrifying. What goes up must come down. Air force’s most simple weapon ever: A tungsten rod that could hit a city with the explosive power of an. A darpa rendering depicts a supersonic conventional weapon as it emerges from its rocket nose. The concept of the hypersonic tungsten rod can be traced back to the aspiration of propelling mammoth tungsten rods from celestial heights, crashing into targets at mach 10 speeds, and emulating the devastation of nuclear explosions. 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. The idea behind the ‘rods from god’ is strikingly simple:
