shouldn't it be propelled? How precise can it be if purely relying on gravity and atmosphere pressure & surface tension?

When aircraft drops a precision guided bomb with no source of propulsion, they still have to be relatively local to the area.

Just another treaty for Trump to piss on.

For precise destruction they would need to be guided.

you place the satellite over what you want to hit, propel the object enough to get caught by gravitation. If it's heavy and pencil shaped with fins wind shouldn't do too much

Russians had the FOBS system in the 60s, although it used a nuclear warhead because precision was a very loose term back then

ORION BATTLESHIP MOTHERFUCKER

With a large laser and a spinning mirror, you could vaporize a human target from space.

With no risk of splash from the surrounding fast-melted ground?

No risk of super heated air, making your guys explode from exposure because you dropped a sandnigger 30 meters away?

Not really, no. A Maser in space could boil a person no problem, with some scattering off of metallic things dissipating by 1/r^2. IR-vis could ignite their clothes ez-pz. Anything more energetic that visible light will be scattered by atmosphere tho.

That's not how orbital mechanics works. You have to slow down the projectile so it falls into the atmosphere, and you can't really use aerobraking because it doesn't have much drag. Ignoring the retarded cost and low damage by comparison to jsut about anything else, your response time would literally be up to an hour or more if you didn't attach boosters to the projectiles as well as a guidance package and control system sufficient to achieve accuracy to within a few hundreths of a degree on heading based off of visual telemetry alone. Essentially, you're crashing an extremely heavy and expensive spacecraft into the ground to make a three foot wide and forty feet deep hole in the ground with a bunch of dust around it.

Nigga, play some KSP and get a rocket into a stable orbit before making that post again, 'cause you don't know shit about orbit mechanics.
