Ever hear of "rods from God"? It is a rumored kinetic energy space weapon specifically developed as bunker busters to replace any need for "tactical nukes".

The "rods from God" are gigantic titanium rods (edited to add: they are actually tungsten. I misspoke. Not that I really know the difference between the two.) that are propelled from a satillite at tremendous velocity with some sort of precision guidance system. They are non explosive, but the kinetic energy is so extreme that they are able to penetrate very deep into the ground and have a meteor like destructive force.

Should these actually exist, I would suspect that a few rods could take care of it.
