28.1k KerlonceauxIndustries  6.5 years ago

This is a model of the prototype of the first ever operational kinetic weapon, which was a simple tungsten rod. These were launched from satellites in high orbit. 20 satellites were built,15 successfully launched, 2 of them malfunctioned and went offline 23 hours after activation, all others in orbit launched at least one weapon, 3 launched their full payload of 20 weapons at ground targets, which were shot down by a Bull-class frigate, with the permission of KI headquarters, as the satellites could not be rearmed, which was a flaw fixed in the Mark II Orbital Bombardment Satellite. The weapon could also be carried on an orbital bomber.

    @Oski I'm working on a heavy bomber for the 1935 bomber challenge, and so far, it's looking good.

    @KerlonceauxIndustries no problem. It reminds me of a game I played some time ago.

    Much obliged @Oski. I honestly wasn't expecting any upvotes, but oh well.
