Most of the services’ materiel commands are full of woke morons who will try to green the military. The all worship the Green Nude Eel.

What sort of electrical source would be needed to electrify her? It seems she has ten times the mass of Julius and Ethyl Rosenberg combined.
I assume you must think the US military doesn’t already know about EMP hardening.
If we had eggs.
When I was designing EMP hardened equipment in the late 90s it seemed all the talk and design efforts were focused on it. Don’t seem to hear much about that now especially since they are talking about buying hybrid and all electric vehicles which are very difficult to harden.
None of the recharging stations in Ukraine are working...
This story is patently ridiculous. An Abrams weighs 60-70 tons. So would the batteries this article envisages.
Here I sit, trying to harden my electronics for near lightning strikes. That stuff is brutal. I'm having pretty good results with a chain of beefy inductors, TVS diodes, resistors, and zener diodes. Its a lot of board space. (These things sit in the open running pumps at landfills.)
A diesel electric tank would make some sense. Since I didn’t bother to read the article, I don’t know if that’s what they are talking about :-)
Well...
It makes sense...
The chicoms, already, are buying up all the land around our military installations, infiltrating all our military research establishments, sneak peaking into our military electronic hardware, flooding the universities & colleges with spies, and establishing economic control within countries all around the globe...
Now they will be the main suppliers of both materials and production of the batteries that will be needed to run our tanks until the EMP blast occurs...
Good thinking from the same group of american communists that gave China (and, eventually, North Korea) the ability to build ICBMs...
The whole idea was probably China’s in the first place!..............
The Tiger tank was hybrid electric. Overly complicated, prone to breakdowns. But it seems to work for cars.
And locomotives. They have been hybrids for decades...................
FTA: While these steps are focused on reducing greenhouse gasses..
In a war no one and I mean no one is caring about greenhouse gasses!!!
except the democrats.....!
There are 3 pulses produces by EMPs. The sun produces E2 and E3 pulses that can hit the power grid and cause problems. The nuclear EMP E1 pulse is the one that eats electronics. There is items that can protect delicate electronics i.e. Mylar bags that have EMP protection built in. “A Faraday cage or Faraday shield is an enclosure used to block electromagnetic fields.” and can protect critical electronics and can be purchased or built. I believe renegade countries like Iran or N Korea would love to hit the US with an EMP which both could do at any time.
Electronics can be taken out by any of them; however, the purely electro-magnetic pulses can be mitigated using in network of inductors, spark gaps, TVS diodes, resistors, and diode clamps.
Without the govern, I will say 60 is like Riding like the wind.
Locomotives are not hybrids. There are no massive batteries in one used for propulsion. They are motor/generator sets AKA diesel-electric. There is no electric without the diesel.
That single prototypes was made by Porsche. It did make it into combat; however, a total absence of spare parts took it out of service in a hurry.
All other Tigers were powered by conventional engines.
