WHAT electrical grid?
That is about as useful as paralyzing the Amish electrical grid.
Next thing you know the ROKs will be planning to drop watermelons on NK...
Basically it’s long, thin STRIPS of graphite; when they overlay wires, this often short-circuits them.
There can be lasting damage but in most cases you simply REMOVE the strips and in some time you’re good to go.
This isn’t NEARLY as devastating as an EMP.
I say Dirty For Dirty.
the SK’s and WE need to develop a means to kill all their communications systems......even more important.....do they even have cell-phones in NK?
Be careful - you know how they like to steal stuff!
I worked at U.S. Steel years ago. I was in electrical maintenance. One of the byproducts of the steel making process is graphite dust. It used to get in the crane resistor banks and short them out. Hours spent replacing burned up resistor banks in 100 degree heat 120 feet in the air over a 200 ton ladle of steel.
Would this weapon platform be considered first strike power only? If little rocket man launches on SK the Norks won’t be around anymore shortly afterwards.
I’m thinking a graphite hand grenade should do it. Or maybe empty the pencil sharper over it.
As an electrical engineer, I have considered this concept for years. I have kept my big mouth shut for obvious reasons.....
NK is already blacked out.

just what i've been saying for, well, years... make them ALL live in the dark for the next five or ten years till they get their minds right
Seriously, this is a great way to avoid collateral damage. Used on North Korea it really will only target the government and military.
I remember seeing a satellite view of NK at night it was dark
So in the 1970’s I was stationed at Luke AFB, VA. The F-15 fleet had been deployed there to begin training. One day a crew chief did a runup of an Eagle and it jumped the chocks, crashed and burned. Soon the power went out on the Base. Thus was born the “Corker”.
I believe they are trying to plan for a negative impact on North Korea’s missiles aimed at the South.
No offense, but do the NORKS really have much of an electrical grid?
