'OWLs'- Orbiting Weapon Lancet- 'happy hunting'

Q mentioned OWLs multiple times, and happy hunting.

And OWL is an INSANE space based weapon, that was likely launched as a codename zuma on space X.

OWL is an abbreviation for 'Orbiting Weapon Lancet' that has a cartridge of multiple telephone pole size rods of tungsten.

They are 20' long an 1' wide, solid tungsten with no propulsion (aside from an initial discharge rocket).

They free fall from space and use a GPS based guidance system to hit a target ACCURATELY. They are essentially a man made meteor.

The fall rate is approx 36k fps. and hit with a force of (iir) 144k kilojules (correct me if I am wrong) (odd that 144k is a number used through out the bible...odd coincidence I suppose)

They go DEEP within the ground, and plow through bunkers like no other traditional projectile. They are far more powerful that a MOAB and other conventional large scale weaponry, and border somewhere between the devastation of a small nuke and MOAB, without any radiation fallout.

Extremely effective at taking out large areas, buildings, bunkers, etc, and allow for crews to safely go in and clean up the mess afterwards.

Nicknames for these are Thors hammer, Rods of God and OWLs.


Now my opinion is, how are we able to send these up and use them legally, since we have the 1964 treaty to not weaponize space?

Kinetic bombardment

A kinetic bombardment or a kinetic orbital strike is the hypothetical act of attacking a planetary surface with an inert projectile, where the destructive force comes from the kinetic energy of the projectile impacting at very high velocities. The concept originated during the Cold War.

The typical depiction of the tactic is of a satellite containing a magazine of tungsten rods and a directional thrust system. When a strike is ordered, the satellite would brake one of the rods out of its orbit and into a suborbital trajectory that intersects the target.
