North Korea's orbiting EMPs are no LARPing matter! htt

Buuuuimp

This is super serious - not like some punk driving his charger into a far girl. Wake the fuck up /pol

Would an EMP take out our anti-missle defense?

Would it matter? Your economy and ours would be instantly destroyed even without direct nuclear strikes, the damage would take decades to recover from if ever.

You're right, though I could still see KJU nuking the west coast and Chicago afterwards to rub it in, assuming that US missile defense would be rendered useless by an EMP.

>a low kt nuke can EMP the entire US

can we bring people together to kill all the niggers?
also 8 more days until final day *clock tower chimes*

Dear lord let those bombs drop all over us. Blast us please.

This. I remember this old book from the 80s, War Day, set after a really quick WW3, in which only a few cities in the USA and USSR get nuked before command and control breaks down, but both countries are absolutely devastated by EMP

Everything electronic gone, every computer and calculator and car engine and electronic record of everything -- it'd be an economic apocalypse

I swear I've seen this in a game before.

Most of it yes, integrated circuits especially mosfet technology are extremely sensitive to EMP, even as low as tens of volts can cause damage. All previous nuclear EMP tests involved interaction with much more hardy vacuum tube and passive component design.

Hey, there!

I'm a security researcher and a hobby of mine is doing ham radio and satellite communications (SATCOM). I used to do it in the marines, and now I do it for fun.

This article is pushing some fear mongering bullshit here. There is no way NK's satellite (singular) can do this:

1) KMS 3-2 has deorbited. That happened a while ago. Its orbit degraded and it is now gone.

2) KMS-4 is there, but based on the TLE updates I've been watching, that orbit may not last much longer, either.

3) KMS 3-2 had a downlink transmitter around 470Mhz UHF. KMS-4 does, too. It also contains a downlink for photos on the X-band. I've been working to download one of these photos, but I can't find the signal just yet. I've found three that may be it, but I need to figure out the signal so I can decode the image.

This is classic fearmongering. Please don't listen to it. Putting an actual EMP in space would also require a pretty large energy source. Based on NK's launch capabilities, I doubt they have any ability to launch something of this size into a stable orbit.

Feel free to ask questions, I'm gonna be up for a bit more.
