You dont seem to know what Rods from God means. Hint: they dont currently exist as a weapon we have, they probably never will, and they certainly wouldnt be conventional.

I know exactly what they are, telephone pole sized metal rods deployed in satellites that utilize kinetic energy instead of explosives. It is not a complicated system to implement, and is not illegal by any international convention or treaty. The only thing stopping us from acknowledging that we possess them, if we actually do that is, is that it would establish a precedent for other nations to develop them.
Edit: tungsten does not emit ionizing radiation, and therefore is conventional.
