The only real benefit of a rod would IMO be that it can potentially penetrate very deep in the ground or hardened structures without the need of a nuclear explosion. Besides that maybe a slightly faster deployment time.

But in the event you'd use a weapon like this itd mean nukes are probably on table already.

Great now we just need to wait several days for the target to align itself with the orbit at the right time and ah fuck they shot it down
