The Anti-Electrical Cluster Bomb

Anti-electrical

An anti-electrical weapon, the CBU-94/B, was first used by the U.S. in the Kosovo War in 1999. These consist of a TMD (Tactical Munitions Dispenser) filled with 202 BLU-114/B "Soft-Bomb" submunitions. Each submunition contains a small explosive charge that disperses 147 reels of fine conductive fiber of either carbon or aluminum-coated glass. Their purpose is to disrupt and damage electric power transmission systems by producing short circuits in high-voltage power lines and electrical substations. On the first attack, these knocked out 70% of the electrical power supply in Serbia. There are reports that it took 500 people 15 hours to get one transformer yard back on line after being hit with these weapons

  I had no idea before tonight that anything like this even existed. I had only heard of using a hydrogen bomb at 100 miles to destroy everything electrical in a country(that wasn't specially modified by the U.S. military for continued use).
   
  The EMP of a 100 megaton hydrogen bomb going off at altitude they said would kill anyone within 12 feet of anything metal and End the life permanently of anything electrical in that country. It doesn't really radiate or destroy physically anything but it permanently destroys anything electrical.
  
  
  I wrote something based upon what I read in a research paper from a reputable American University on the subject in:
   
  • EMP

  They said wires would melt off of power and phone lines all over a country and anything metal in your pocket would burn you including your glasses and then there would be no power at all in cars, power plants, trains, planes or anything else. In fact, over that country all planes running on anything electrical would simply fall out of the sky. Only smaller planes with wires running from controls would be able to glide in in an emergency like this because all plane engines would cut out at once if this happened over a country because their spark wires and electrical systems would melt. So, the engine would all stop running and all electrical systems in the country would be over including power generating stations.
  
  In the Tom Cruise "War of the Worlds" this is why no cars are running and planes fall out of the sky because of an EMP (Electro-magnetic Pulse).
