EMP Bombs a new possible weapon against Iran?

[Peter Lemkin]

I thought the Russians/Soviets had this years ago?

EMP was always a component of nuclear and neutron bomb weapons. Direct energy particle beam and high-power laser weapons can also do this on precise targets [all of the former are not new]. New is the use of microwaves [or so they say], and being able to fly over an area and rapidly and SELECTIVELY (or 'carpet bombing') electronic devices/buildings/areas. By the way, they will not just shut down the devices...they will NEVER work again - nor could they be repaired, and in most cases, little, if any, data stored would be recoverable. While they showed in the little cute video the shut-down of computers; I believe this would also shut down most electrical systems, control systems, many manufacturing/machining systems, sanitation systems, health and hospital equipment, mobile phones, sophisticated household appliances, communications systems, aviation - including civil, rockets and other guided weapons systems - almost anything that contains circuit boards and computer-type or electical-power-control components [i.e. just about everything, these days]. I would also question if it really is with microwaves that there wouldn't be collateral damage to all living things!!!!!!!!!

It is those who think up, design and deploy such weapons who are in the 'Stone Age'!
