B-83’s CAN be set for impact burst - they have a frangible nose to collapse while trying to stay at 90 degrees relative to the ground.
However, air burst is an option as well, along with dial-a-yield. (for the thread)
The grocery stores will be madhouses in the immediate aftermath - as will the gasoline stations.
“It’ll fry every major power plant in the area “
Sorry, just more Internet nerd porn. Not reality.

Uh, no. I don't know what the obsession is with EMP attacks on FR, but a ground zero or low altitude nuclear detonation on any major population center would be far more devastating and immediate. Sheesh.
Just another bezerko stupid enough to call a Trump bluff.
If you wish to take out the blast doors at Cheyenne mountain you set it off right at the door. If you want to take out a city you set the explosion at a proper hight to use the reflective blast in conjunction with direct burst to produce the most widespread damage to soft and hard targets. There are geometric formulas for this.
Your method makes a nice crater. Also good if that’s what you’re trying to do.
One of North Korea’s exports is expertly crafted counterfeit American money.
So the international attempt at extortion is turning into a “hostage” situation. Little Fatty got his ass pumped full of sunshine from his Daddy, or something.
I sure hope to hell that the USN has a contingency plan to take out every NK submarine within an hour. The second hour should reduce their surface fleet. And this should take place independently of any other US military operations.
As I haven’t defined an “area” for “frying power plants “ you have no possible way of determining the level of nerd porn I could be using. Suffice it say that power grids can be lunched. How far from the epicenter? Depends on the yield and distance and the preparedness.
Hey, It’s been fun. Let’s do it again sometime.
Code-
best to dive a little deeper into the science of exoatmospheric nuclear-originated EMP
there are three types of pulses that vary greatly in wavelength, propagation and duration.
these are often referred to as S1,2 and 3. Nomenclature varies.
the long-wire antenna EMP is a long duration, long wavelength, coronal mass type EMF that does not affect transistors and ICs.
the bad actor is the shortest wavelength pulse that has a very short duration, and a wicked quick rise in power that can fry transistors and ICs.
Carrington Event coronal mass ejection EMP is likely to be a yawner for anyone prepared and unplugged.
Exoatmospheric nukes are the theoretical civilization killers.
Atmospheric nukes has a lesser line of sight, localized effect.
best not to dismiss exoatmospheric nukes.
your mileage may vary.
posting from mobile. excuse the typos.
yes
So many holier-than-thou Truman supporters love to say that MacArthur had to be fired to preserve civilian authority over the military. They ignore MacArthur’s point that North Korea could NOT continue their communist regime after having started the war with a surprise attack.
MacArthur was right about Korea and Ridgeway was wrong. If we had done what was necessary we would have a strong unified Korea now instead of facing a nuclear catastrophe.
I think China and Russia want the norjs to start it so they can observe that naval work. For later. Plus to know what to steal.
It’s hard to bomb a country back into the stone age when most of it is still there.
I think you are onto something here The Soviets were terrified the US was going to put up a large satellite for direct transmission. They did not know how to counter this.
Really.....shucks Traitor & Turncoat, & Hawaii low life native, USA Hater, Barack Hussein Obama will save the Hawaiian Islands. Fat chance...he is laughing at all of you fools that voted for his sorry butt. Your only survival hope is POTUS, Donald J. Trump. You fools and buffoons in the islands ought to get on your hands and knees and thank God Almighty Trump is the USA POTUS....no thanks to you idiots!!!
Evacuate Seoul tomorrow and watch them hsit their pants.
I was just having fun with the fact that even if the steering dont work, they still are EMP range from Japan.
Don’t insult me you moron. Hawaii has plenty of folks that utterly hate/hated Obama and were/have been for Trump since day one . So piss off.
On the news tonight Sen. Feinstein says we need to have”High level diplomatic talks and negotiations with NK”.
It work so well over the last 50 years, why not?
May I suggest she goes there and not return until, she obtains a unified Korea and Freedom for all Koreans!
She can toast Kim Jon Un as Madeline Halfbright did, in her/Clinton sellout!
