Baraq al Obaba wouldn't do it. He would probably just EMP 'em back -- which means nothing to 12th century savages...

An EMP at the correct altitude detroys most of the CONUS infrastructure, including electrical generation, electrical transmission, all modern vehicles, as well as burning out everything connected to the grid. The fires caused by that alone will cripple us. A lot of military hardware is EMP hardened but not all of it.

People that don't take EMPs seriously don't know enough about them.

Something would have to go.

Within minutes of an attack like that, we would have x-ray and gamma ray spectrography on the device.

We would know who built it, where it was built, and probably when.

They wouldn’t be building any more after that, that’s fer sure...

Correction: EMP attack by Iran = two page stern warning letter from the UN instead of the usual one page warning letter.

Good evening.

EMP attack by Iran = Glass Parking Lot paved in Tehran.

I pray it doesn't come to this.

Here will I say in my best Farsi, "AZADI!"

5.56mm
