South Korea developing graphite 'blackout bombs' to paralyse North's electrical grid

WHAT electrical grid?

[Red Badger]

The one going to Fat Boy’s pad...................

[LegendHasIt]

That is about as useful as paralyzing the Amish electrical grid.

[SuperLuminal]

Isn't that a racist device?

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.

[Arlis]

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?

[Dilbert San Diego]

LOL. Ya I’ve seen the nighttime satellite photos over North Korea. Very little electricity appears to be used there

[beergarden]

Right LOL overkill ain’t it?

[SandRat]

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.

That is about as useful as paralyzing the Amish electrical grid.

I’m thinking a graphite hand grenade should do it. Or maybe empty the pencil sharper over it.

[Red Badger]

Sounds like fun!...................

[LegendHasIt]

My apologies, then.

I hope I don’t owe you a new keyboard. I can send you a kleenex or a paper towel though.

[bigbob]

This would be overkill even:

[Slyfox]

WHAT electrical grid?

You know, that electrical grid, the one that the Clinton regime forked over 4 billion over to the NorK-coms so they could look like the rest of the world with cities all lit up at night.
