Please help this is England...... what's an E bomb ?
Something I HOPE we have tucked away in our arsenal!
"E" for EMP Electro-Magnetic Pulse Bomb (Iran's mad-man-adab says he has one - doubt it)
excerpt from link;
http://www.abovetopsecret.com/pages/ebomb.html
"High Power Electromagnetic Pulse generation techniques and High Power Microwave technology have matured to the point where practical E-bombs (Electromagnetic bombs) are becoming technically feasible, with new applications in both Strategic and Tactical Information Warfare. The development of conventional E-bomb devices allows their use in non-nuclear confrontations...The ElectroMagnetic Pulse is in effect an electromagnetic shock wave .."
**************************** It is detonated in the air above the target area/country and "kills" all electronics...cars, communications, weapons, computers, EVERYthing - basically plunging everything and everyone back to preindustrial time.
It doesn't kill people or destroy buildings, but reduces the population to sitting ducks, incapable of defense or retaliation.
Let's hope no mad-man gets the jump on us with this one.
I imagine more than one liberalRAT that did everything they could to prevent Reagan's SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative that they slurred as "Star Wars" wishes they had not prevented full scale development. We've had to limp along with limited funds and it is still in the infancy stages.
What I could never understand is how the opponents of SDI could be so against a system that does no harm to any one, does not attack any country, but ONLY provides protection from an attack launched AT us? And Reagan said not only do we need to develop SDI but that we should share the technology with other key countries.
No one ever made the MSM and the democrats answer why this was so terrible?
At this stage and time, I hope we have both the E-bomb AND that our SDI program is further along than they are letting on. "
In the meantime, I'm looking for a donkey..;o)
