There is the old(ish) story/myth of the "Rods from God". The idea of a satellite that has an on-board Rail Gun (Unreal Tournament bruvvas in the house!!!) that can fire tungsten rods down to the surface of the Earth at Mach 497 or whatever. It's definitely possible, and probably even exists, in a small way.
But this is Rods from the Next Town Over. It's a lot cheaper to prep and deliver. And delivers the same level of Oh My Fucking Gawd.
The amount of kinetic energy in this weapon is enough that you would assume it's a nuke.
