Yeah, I discussed using atmospheric braking in another post. In it I showed that while this is certainly doable albeit with a reentry burn, it is the most expensive way possible to put mass on target and we are talking about a telephone pole of tungsten. If the Tungsten came from space it might make a little more sense.
In summary: Can it be done with an unlimited budget (and a motherfucking reentry burn) ? Yes. Is it a good idea? Aside from the advantage of getting your weapons close to an enemy before launch it is the absolute worst idea possible! (aside from sending the heavy object around Neptune first, for shits and giggles)
