I think gundam colonies are more durable than normal in the first place. A ton of these colony drops would do less damage than depicted because bits and pieces would burn up in the atmosphere This would cause environmental damage for sure because the energy doesn't poof disappear but the impact itself would be less than the shows depict. Just how many gundam colonies break apart during fall? They usually remain physically intact enough and not spilling all over the place in pieces. In real life it wouldn't be super efficient unless the colony itself is filled to the gills with explosives because if the colony is in orbit then it would need energy to break away then accelerate it to earth then it would lose kinetic energy to air resistance and breaking apart on the way down. Also when it hits it would need to be rigid so it's not like an airbag or car crumple zone extending the length of the collision. These colonies are probably mostly air and vacuum so it's the outer layers that must be super durable. Space colony drops are depicted as impact when they ought to be depicted as long lasting dust clouds and radiation if anything because gundam colonies use nuclear pulse engines. Char must've loaded axis with captured nukes + axis nuclear engines to irradiate everyone in his nuclear winter.
