Topic: Worldwar 3 and EMP bombs - page 2. (Read 5529 times)

Yeah, that. EMP is a "total war" measure.

the emp bombs are used primarily before a nuke attack to disable all the nuke alert / defense systems

No Bitcoin? Then I think WW3 should be made illegal to start! :-]

Or our imagination.

That means no on line porn?

I guess we could go back to live strip shows.

no but seriously, if we actually get into a real war with china or russia im totally going to do that.

Well, I certainly WOULD worry about EMP.  The reason is that it could occur from solar flares reaching the earth, or from a rogue nuclear attack.  I'd worry about asteroids, too.

Anything that might disrupt my supply of morning coffee is worth worrying about.

I can't even imagine what WWIII would look like, but I wouldn't be concerned about EMP bombs as there are already ways to strongly reduce the impact of EMP.


It seems everyone wants to have more and we don't even realize how much we have right now (especially if you live in the so called 'first world'). Maybe at some point a war is needed to open our eyes.

When in nuclear fallout shelters internet is very important. This will make the fallout shelter just like your home and nobody will care about war as long as you can play games and chat online.

Why would you be worried about browsing the internet when bombs are falling from the sky?

No, it will result with an end of western capitalistic elite, zionism and jews. They are not the whole humanity.

WW1 was won by latvians.
WW2 was won by communists, capitalists, jews and freemasons.
WW3 will be won by aryan people again. At least I hope so!... or it will bring progress to humanity like World War 2 did. Einstein was one smart jewish rat, he was not apolitical and said some things on purpose.

Anyway I don't care about death of other people or my own possible death in war, the victory of ideology and destruction of enemy is all that matters. The heroism of previous wars heroes will be with us! Because things are so bad that it should not continue this way. Capitalism, inequality of people, multiculturalism, mass surveillance. I better see WW3 than such things taking place in society.

Stop posting bullshit about end of life. USA have detonated about one thousand nukes on US soil and we all are here posting crap on internet. If I had nukes I would need about one third of that delivered to target to force USA to capitulate. And I won't be using ICBM missiles for first strike but I would place them in space orbit in fail-deadly configuration to prevent from them being tampered by enemy. (No expected encrypted signal received from ground station equals going after preprogrammed targets on earth.)

It will. Watch the film "Trinity and beyond".I remember that one. Back then russians were more willing to press trigger to shoot down the intruding civilian aircraft than USA personell are willing to make decision about unknown dot on radar screen. I don't think the USA will launch second strike counterattack even if the launch is detected. Because political situation does not suggest that anyone with that capability are willing to attack them. And disbelief and human factor will play significant role that everyone is excluding from their scenarios.

The key word here is boat. If a missile is launched from mainland North Korea, it'd be pretty obvious that the missile belongs to North Korea. But a boat in the Gulf of Mexico could belong to anyone. It could be North Korea. Or maybe China, or Russia, or literally any other country that owns both boats and missiles. That's why submarines are such a critical part of nuclear strategy: they can go almost anywhere in the world without being detected and then fire their missiles without anyone knowing which country was responsible.

EMP isn't as powerful as you think. Companies will appear which offer emp shielded cases.  It's a problem only if you don't prepare for it.

Also I don't think Emp would shut down the electric grid but I'm not in a position to say. I would hope they have invested in the right kind of equipment.

Your point?

And certainly no one could rent a small Cessna then fly it into the Soviet Union and land in Red Square.  Nope!  Nyet!

NORAD.

Who is the THEY?  Air traffic radar?  Nope.

That is why the subs all track and follow each other, there is a high national interest in always knowing the location of the subs.  Then if one launches rockets, you know whose boat it was and who to retaliate against.

So, they can track missile launches on the other side of the planet, but not in their own back yard?

No kidding?  And you left this out in your first post?

Next, you'll be annoyed that I must point out that in the case of a launch of an EMP weapon from a boat in the Gulf of Mexico, there would be no immediate traceback to the perp - and so rather than a decision to be made, there would be no decision to be made, and thus the discussion about decisions to be made is moot.  You get the EMP attack and you absorb it.  And some months later, after divers had located the sunken boat and sifted through evidence, and after comm traffic had been analyzed, some organization or country would indeed have hell to pay.

But that wouldn't be the end of the world.  This article has a quite a bit of interesting facts concerning EMP.

I've gotten behind on the technology, unfortunately. But to my knowledge an EMP generator that will have an effect great enough to do anything other than piss off some people on the ground still requires a nuclear blast. You can make a very small device that would be an interesting battlefield weapon, as it would fry unshielded electronics in it's line of sight, but that really wouldn't do anything to major electronic infrastructure. It might stop a charging tank, though. Then again it might not as most modern mechanized infantry is shielded by transuranics which would mitigate if not completely negate such a small pulse.

Such a device would be pure fun in a traffic stop, though
