Chapter 692: Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb
Other people ran away, their troops were holding up a protective umbrella for their own barracks, and if they escaped and caused a large number of soldiers in the barracks to die, they would definitely go to court-martial.
It would have been nice if he could quickly transfer his position, but now, only a few minutes, he wanted to reopen in another place, and it was too late. Therefore, he can only choose between retreat and defense!
Damn it! Damn it!
"What to do? Commander, are we going to retreat? "There is already some panic in the missile position, and some of the missile launchers on other ground are preparing to retreat.
"Stay put! No retreat! Whoever dares to retreat, I will kill him! The commander, who had finally made his decision, pulled out his M92F pistol and roared hoarsely at his soldiers.
They intercepted the missiles, and if Saddam's missile attack retreated, the commander would be court-martialed, regardless of whether the target of the other party's attack was them or not.
"Activate the jammer immediately." The commander shouted.
Civilian chips, which cannot work normally in electromagnetic interference, as long as they deviate from the track, they will not hit here!
Now, he can only pray to God to let the Patriot exert 200 percent effectiveness and intercept all the remaining missiles that have not been deviated by interference. The vehicle, which was speeding towards the Patriot missile position, suddenly braked sharply and stopped only a few kilometers away from the missile position.
Inside the Doha barracks, the roving vehicles all found a secluded corner and stopped.
The Arab officers in the car all issued orders to their subordinates in a hurried tone: "Hurry! Start the radar jamming system and communication jamming system immediately! ”
These Arab soldiers had already been prepared, and within a dozen seconds of the generator, there was a roar. Power is provided to interference systems that require a huge amount of power.
As soon as they pressed the switch, countless radio waves quickly spread in all directions.
All the soldiers had their gun safes turned on and were ready to meet the American troops. In order to prevent the U.S. military from coming to shut down the system, they are determined to fight to the death.
Inside the barracks. Several Arab officers who are surfing the Internet. Calmly shoved a disc into the optical drive entrance and clicked on a program.
Almost immediately, these virus programs quickly spread through the network to the entire network to the computer systems on the network.
A virus for the purpose of burning hardware!
However, this is an improved version, based on the U.S. response measures, analyzing the antivirus software they announced, and the improvements made. A more violent super virus!
In less than a minute, tens of thousands of computers centered on the Doha Barracks. All paralyzed.
Even if the computer escapes the virus attack, it will not dare to turn on the computer in a short time.
The American military machine, which relied heavily on computers, lost the ability to resist in this quarter of an hour. Technicians at the computer center panicked and struggled to salvage the remaining computer systems.
The base, which was jammed by radar, was in chaos.
Countless radar systems. In order to play a role, various efforts are being made.
The Patriot missile interception position, the commander's face turned pale. On the radar screen in front of him. There was only a snowflake, the trail of those three missiles. Hidden by countless snowflakes, it is impossible to trace.
In this case, Patriot missiles. What to talk about interception, it's a joke at all! It's nothing more than a pile of scrap metal! A big pile of scrap metal!
Originally, the Patriot missile system used a phased array radar, which was difficult to jam. But now, due to the close proximity of high-power jammers, such a system has been successfully jammed!
"It's falling! They're down! "The US troops at the missile position, who were terrified to the extreme, shouted frantically and fled from the missile position with all their feet scattered. Attempt to escape to safety.
How could it be possible to escape in such a short period of time?
A desperate U.S. missile operator fell to his knees with his knees weakened. Looking up at the night sky in pain, he wailed and cried.
The three missiles, not all of which were aimed at the missile position.
All three missiles were improved to have terminal guidance capabilities that successfully evaded the interception of the jammed Patriot system, one missile exploded over the Patriot position, and the other two went straight to the Doha barracks and exploded over it.
In the sky, in the midst of a violent explosion, a ball of lightning-like something appeared, and the light was so dazzling that the night sky was almost lit up.
The soldier who was on his knees, who had just cried a few times, suddenly saw that the missile did not fall on their heads, but exploded in the air. He shouted with joy, and sprang up from the ground, without looking back, and fled like a rabbit.
He didn't think about why the missile didn't fall but exploded overhead.
Such a difficult question does not need him to think about it. All he had to do was understand that, at least for now, his priority was to save his life! If you save your life, you will have time to think, even if you think about it for the rest of your life. But if you don't take the opportunity to run away now, you won't have the opportunity to do such a difficult thing in the future.
He didn't run two steps before he smelled a scorching smell, and when he looked up, he saw a huge flat Patriot missile's phased array radar, which had already risen a puff of black smoke at this time.
EMP Attack! The three first ballistic missiles were launched, and the warhead turned out to be an electromagnetic pulse bomb!
Electromagnetic pulse can be a weapon used to destroy all electronic equipment, and this phenomenon, first discovered by the United States, 62 years, the U.S. military conducted a high-altitude nuclear test codenamed "sea car" on Johnston Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the result of this nuclear test of 1.4 million tons of TNT equivalent, actually caused 1400 kilometers away in Honolulu, Hawaii, the power supply network tripped, and even the lightning protection device of the high-voltage line was all burned. The blast wave even destroyed radio equipment as far away as Australia.
The Americans were surprised to find out that this result was caused by an electromagnetic pulse from a nuclear explosion. The photons in the dense gamma rays of the shock wave can strike out a large number of electrons, freeing them from the constraints of oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the atmosphere. A large number of electrons interact with the geomagnetic field, creating a changing current, which in turn produces a strong magnetic field. The resulting electromagnetic pulse will generate an electric current in the conductive material over a wide area, and if the allowable current of the conductive material is exceeded, it will cause burnout.
After that, the United States conducted a series of research and created an electromagnetic pulse bomb, but for the United States, it did not like to use electromagnetic pulse bombs very much, on the contrary, they were more afraid of being attacked by this electromagnetic pulse bomb.
For no other reason, the United States is more dependent on electronic technology than the Soviet Union, and the United States is steadily walking in the era of integrated circuits and experiencing the benefits brought by the progress of electronic technology, but no matter how reinforced the military chips are, they are all vulnerable in front of the electromagnetic pulse bomb.
Even high-voltage transmission lines can be destroyed, not to mention chips in weapons systems! The only thing that can survive the electromagnetic pulse is the electron tube!
Therefore, if a world war really breaks out, as long as there is an electromagnetic pulse bomb attack, all electronic equipment will fail, and the war will return to the era of horseback riding a hundred years ago, and even the cars of later generations, using an electronically controlled high-voltage common rail system, will definitely be destroyed.
Of course, Iraq's attack this time was definitely not an electromagnetic pulse bomb created by a nuclear bomb, and if this were the case, it would have destroyed the entire Kuwait and the Basra region in southern Iraq.
This time, Iraq only used a tactical-level electromagnetic pulse bomb, which is a magnetic flux compression generator pulse bomb. It mainly consists of a metal cylinder called an armature, which is surrounded by a stator coil. The armature barrel is filled with high-energy explosives, and the entire device is wrapped in a hard shell. There is a space between the stator coil and the armature barrel. Such bombs also require a power source, such as a row of capacitors that can be connected to a stator.
A capacitor is connected to the stator with a switch and the current is transmitted through the wire. This creates a strong magnetic field. The detonating device ignites the explosive material. The explosion propagated in the form of a wave in the middle of the armature barrel. When the explosion passes through the armature, the armature barrel will come into contact with the stator coil. This creates a short circuit, which cuts off the path between the stator and the power supply. This automatic short circuit compresses the magnetic field, resulting in a powerful electromagnetic pulse.
The principle is simple, satisfying the aesthetics of simple violence of the Soviet Union, and the electromagnetic pulse bomb made is enough to cover an area of tens of kilometers around.
Just when this electromagnetic pulse bomb was shining with dazzling light, spreading strong electromagnetic radiation throughout the space, the entire Patriot missile system, and all the electronic equipment in the entire Doha military camp, were destroyed. Even the transmission lines were tripped, and it was dark.
The Arabs, who had just undertaken the task of jamming, immediately drove their own cars and hurried away, knowing that the next moment of overwhelming missile rain was about to fall.
The commander of the Patriot missile position, looking at the radar screen that was still flickering just now, turned into a pitch black, and all the electronic components were out of order, and at the same time smelled the smell of scorching, and immediately understood what these three missiles were for, but he knew it too late.
The Iraqis used three electromagnetic pulse bombs to destroy all their missile positions, command centers, and communication centers! The electronic jamming devices have also failed, and the radar and communications operators who are still struggling to get rid of the jamming no longer have to worry about it. Because, they don't have anything to manipulate anymore.
Those technicians who are still trying their best to repair their computers are also relieved. All computers, whether poisoned or not, are equal at the moment.
How so, Iraqis, where did the EMP bombs come from?
If they could have developed such a sophisticated weapon, why didn't they use it in the first place?
God, who will tell me the answer! (To be continued.) )
