I read the remarks until I got to yours to see how many people would bite on this propaganda before some spoke up, as you did.
TV shows often show someone getting electrocuted with a car battery, which is a 12v. This is what I call a “Hollywoodism”, because it’s made up. I can grab both terminals of a 12v or 24v battery and feel nothing. I doubt if there is an 80v battery, but if there is the effect would be the same, which is nothing.
To create a shock the voltage must be alternating or rapidly interrupted. A simple DC battery will not shock. This story is BS.
The 80v battery is attached to the radio. The radio appears to be used in generating an alternating direct, likely with much high hertz.....
not familiar with Russian military radios, but many American aviation devices operate in the 200-800 hertz.
Wouldn’t be to difficult to cobble something together that would generate an unpleasant experience for the recipient.
