The U.S. Air Force has deployed at least 20 missiles that could zap the military electronics of North Korea or Iran with high-power microwaves, rendering their military capabilities virtually useless without causing any fatalities, DailyMail.com has learned exclusively.
Known as the Counter-Electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP), the missiles were built by Boeing's Phantom Works for the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory and tested successfully in 2012. They have not been operational until now.
The microwave weapons are fitted into an air-launched cruise missile and delivered from B-52 bombers. With a range of 700 miles, they can fly into enemy airspace at low altitude and emit sharp pulses of high power microwave (HPM) energy that fry computer chips, disabling any electronic devices targeted by the missiles with causing any collateral damage.
Mary Lou Robinson, the chief of the High Power Microwave Division of the Air Force Research Lab at Kirtland Air Force Base, has confirmed to DailyMail.com that the missiles are now operational and ready to take out any target.

This would be purely retaliation. Mess with our forces, your lights go out permanently. Or at least long enough for your government to collapse.
This is a message to these countries especially Iran. We can paralyze you military at will then dismantle (destroy) at our pleasure.
Ask traitor Kerry, the worthless putz.
Here we go again.
“Trump is going to start WW3 with North Korea”
Kessler used to report for Aviation Week & Space Tech, long thought to be a DoD order. I’m betting this is an authorized leak as a shot across the bow.
The time to do it is in the middle of nationwide protests. No communication for the powers that be. I just hope the nations ‘enforcers’ are properly I’D.’d and dealt with before they can regroup.
It is VERY likely we also have targeted deep-penetrators to disrupt all their buried fiber cable comms.
If this is true and not just a diplomacy ploy I would wish that it were not allowed to be made public but just used, Iran first then after an interval, North Korea after which the government says nothing at all. After the first one we could even offer to send help to restore Iranian systems after their unfortunate meteor strike or whatever.
“I can just feel that the RATs are conspiring with Iran behind our backs.”
It isn’t just a “feeling”. There is hard evidence, starting with Obama’s deal with them and Kerry’s continuing contacts with them.
The Dems are working with our worst enemy in an attempt to regain power. They are selling out the US.
North Korea was never a military threat to the U.S. If necessary we could bounce N.Korea off the lunar surface.
Star Wars was not wholly psyops. Reagan did have the mililtary and NASA working on stuff. I believe the information leaked to Populaar Science et al set off the speculation that got pretty far fetched. The USSRians could not figure out how much was real. They just knew that a whole lot of money was going into ABM and satellite research and a bunch of satellites were being launched without announcements. Russians and Commies being naturally paranoid filled in the rest and did huge psyops on themselves.
With the weapons they are talking about, if real, would just do their stuff and what the Iranians would know is that there was yet another incursion into their air space then suddenly no one could talk to each other and nothing worked. I think this not the sort of EMP that requires a detectable explosion.
I wonder how close to the target this has to be for the microwaves to be effective.
Also, it doesn’t seem like it should be too difficult to shield against microwaves.
The Tucson airplane boneyard is refurbishing B52s.
Meanwhile, the Norks have rendered my cellphone useless by bombarding it with robocalls from the “IRS”.
Can this be used selectively on Twitter and Facebook?
All your electronics are belong to us. We will upload you the bomb!
Most Civilians don’t even know what an EMP is, or the end results of living primitive for decades. They can’t even boil water after all, much less grow food or preserve it. They think Hybrid seeds reproduce all that lovely produce in the grocery store. You are talking CHAOS.
Van this technology fry the guidance of a hypersonic missile in flight?
