Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By _disconnector_: Maybe. But having a Starship loaded with 100 tons of concrete dropping out of orbit at Mach 7 on your head could ruin your entire day. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By _disconnector_: Originally Posted By Wreckshooter: Originally Posted By _disconnector_: All we need is for SpaceX to get Starship off of the ground and operational. Then entire new classes of strike weapons will become possible and economical. I believe that Rods of the Gods will happen in our lifetime. Nothing like an orbital kinetic strike to readjust someone's attitude. 'Rods of the Gods' is Science Fiction bs. about that.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brilliant_Pebbles The system would consist of thousands of small missiles, not unlike conventional heat seeking missiles, which would be placed in orbits so that hundreds would be above the Soviet Union at all times. If the Soviets launched its ICBM fleet, the pebbles would detect their rocket motors using infrared seekers and collide with them. Because the pebble strikes the ICBM before the latter could release its warheads, each pebble could destroy several warheads with one shot. After considerable study, in 1990 Pebbles replaced Rocks as the baseline SDI design and in 1991 it was ordered into production and became the "crowning achievement of the Strategic Defense Initiative".[4] By this time the Soviet Union was collapsing and the perceived threat changed to shorter-range theatre ballistic missiles. Pebbles was modified, but doing so raised its weight and cost; the original design called for around 10,000 missiles and would cost $10 to $20 billion, but by 1990 the cost for 4,600 had ballooned to $55 billion.[3][b] Fighting in Congress through the early 1990s led to Pebbles' cancellation in 1993 |

An interesting read: Why did Russia give away Crimea 60 years ago?
Key points: to dilute the Ukrainian population with ethnic Russians, and for political payoffs/coalition building. |

Yep, one of the things often forgotten is the 155 rounds they are using is approximately twice as powerful as the previous generation rounds and the 152mm they are used to |

Looks like five launches on Odesa, two (Kh-31s) that landed southwest of Odesa, one (type unidentified) hit a military base just west of Odesa, and one (also unidentified) bus station co-located with railway infrastructure. One Kh-22 shot down, UA says smoke at that location is from a grass fire.
ETA- Two more reported SSW Odesa, Horbaty bridge, one shot down, one "arrival" as they say. |
