Serbians also used microwave ovens,power on doors open, pointed at the sky,for anything electrical theres an equal and opposite to nullify it,cardboard cutouts etc etc Im sure the serbs might have taught the Iraqi's something by the same token we're ten years down the track also but I wouldn't be surprised if you see primative emp weopons in this one,theory being without electricity Batmans toys are useless Popular Mechanics had a good story on them recently for 400 dollars you can build a toy that will toast the most part of a cities electrics.

If this were a true statement, then it would have been done many times over by now.

EMP warheads are touted as these amazingly powerful devices, but the reality is that getting lethal effects to electronics generally means putting out enough EM to be lethal to people.

My father has worked at the Air Force Intelligence Agency for over forty years. It used to be called Electronic Security Command. The Serbs didn't have a chance either because those guys knew about every radar they had. EVERY frequency, pulse repitition rate and dynamic characteristic of each and every one they had. How did they know? Because every radar they had was profiled by them (when Russia owned them) by a small package strapped under an SR-71. It drove the Russians NUTS.
