Original Note:
Assuming a velocity at impact of between 3 and 7 km/s and a mass of 30kg per kinetic impactor, the energy equivalent of an impact is equivalent to between 30 and 180kg of TNT. This is not a significant amount, comparable to many conventional bombs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercontinental_ballistic_missile https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent
