IF you can figure out how to get an EMP with an effective radius big enough to affect most of the DRPK without hitting Seoul or the PRC as well.
If the Chinese can figure out how to make fireworks explode into defined shapes, surely we can shape an EMP blast...
;)
N Korea is already third-world. An EMP wouldn’t do much. A conventional nuke, if any, would be called for.
The trouble, though, is that Iran probably has a package or 2 up there already also, ready to fire at any time. And Ahmadinejad is saying the US will be destroyed in the next year or 2 (can’t remember which).
We have to close up that gap in our radar defense if we have any hope of continued existence. But then, do we have anything that would be able to catch a nuke headed toward us even if we detected it in time?
The Super EMP would destroy even the best-protected electronics, the article said. 200 million expected to die within 2 years of an attack. They can easily put an EMP in the middle of the US - right where I’m at - and it would affect the entire country.
Time to get my daughter a bike, I think, if she’s gonna make it home if/when this thing hits.
