Is it true that Tungsten Rods are more powerful than a million equivalent strategic nuclear weapons?

The density of tungsten is 19.35g/cm, which is a little more dense than gold, but the melting point is much higher than gold, reaching 3410±20°C. Therefore, when rubbing against the atmosphere, Tungsten Rods are difficult to be melted off. The Tungsten Rods are estimated to be 10cm, so the weight of the Tungsten Rods is m=ρ*π*r^2*h=3.14×5×500×19.35=759478.5g≈0.76 tons.

The satellite systems carrying these Tungsten Rods are generally in near-Earth orbit, about 400 km above ground level, so let's say 400 km. However, a very real problem is that it is a very complicated matter to calculate the kinetic energy generated by its fall: firstly, the acceleration of gravity is constantly changing, and the acceleration at 400 km above the ground is quite different from that on the ground; secondly, the drag of the atmosphere, as we all know, is not uniform, and the lower the distance from the ground, the higher the density of the atmosphere, and the drag becomes greater. Therefore, calculating the kinetic energy generated by a tungsten fishing rod falling to the ground is difficult for the average person, so we have to choose a simple calculation. The formula for calculating gravitational acceleration is g=G*M/r, where G is the gravitational constant of 6.67×10-11N-m/kg, M is the mass of the Earth, about 5.965*10^24Kg, and r is the distance from the calculation point to the center of the Earth, with an average value of about 6371km. Of course, the acceleration of gravity is also related to the rotation of the earth, so the above calculation is not very accurate.

It is false that Tungsten Rods are more powerful than a million equivalent strategic nuclear weapons.

Even if the mass of the Tungsten Rods were increased by a factor of ten or several dozen, the orbit was increased to 1000 km, and an initial velocity was added, it would only be equivalent to a few thousand tons of TNT, not even close to a strategic nuclear weapon of a million tons of TNT, all things considered. Even if the cutting tungsten carbide rod was to hit the ground, the kinetic energy generated would be less than one-third of the ideal, taking into account all factors.
