I've always preffered "Rods from God", space baced kinetic bombardment. Telephone poll sized tungsten rods that are dropped from space and thanks to GPS guidence and good old F=MV2 slam into an installation with kiloton level damage focused in a small area.

Actually, the impact kinetic energy of such a weapon (essentially an artificial meteor) would be calculated as EK=mv2/2.

I've always preffered "Rods from God", space baced kinetic bombardment.I've long wondered if such concept is possible when delivered by a ballistic missile? My understanding is it is possible from an ICBM but to my knowledge, Israel doesn't have ICBM's.
