Radioman: “Captain, I have FLASH message traffic coming in on the ELF (extremely low frequency) circuit from the National Command Authority.”
Captain: “Weapons Officer warm-up the weapons. Exec, on me to authenticate the targeting and launch protocols.”
The Israeli’s first strike against Iran will most likely be an EMP [Electromagnetic Pulse] strike. Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_pulse
The EMP strike will effectively destroy anything that is electronic or electrical in Iran. The country will go from the 21st century light to the 7th century dark within seconds to minutes. Iran is rendered deaf, dumb, and blind in a flash of EMP radiation.
Iranian n-plants ae now vulnerable to follow-up second and following strikes. Unless the undergound facilities are EMP hardened and have independent power, they will become tombs for anyone in them.
If the Syrians or Egypitians want to play war, EMP would wreak havoc with them, too. Casualities will be minimal, but these countries will devolve into total chaos and anarchy.
