New way to use a nuke

**hellheaven1987** · February 22, 2012, 08:36 AM

The government must take more seriously the threat of a nuclear weapon being exploded in space by a rogue state, MPs have warned.

The Defence Select Committee said the resulting radiation pulse could disrupt power and water supplies, UK defence and satellite navigation systems.

Its chairman, Tory MP James Arbuthnot, said an attack was "quite likely".

The committee is urging ministers to invest in more "hardened" technology to cope with such an event.

It looked at the threat to the UK's technological infrastructure from "electromagnetic pulse" (EMP) events in space, which could also include the eruption of solar flares.

This isn't a new way to use a nuke, it's been known for quite some time.

EMP has been known for a long time. All major US military targets like Nuke Silos are all shielded against EMP attacks.

it I just bought a Kindle. Should of paid the extra ten quid for the EMP hardened version.

This has been known for a while.

Also did you know that if you blast a nuke in the upper atmosphere that it will disrupt radio waves and end cellular phone transmisisons. The only service that will still work is Sprint because their service is at its core DOD technology originally designed to survive such an attack as well as encrypt transmissions.

All people who fear the bomb should have Sprint as their carrier and lock an extra cell in a container with the battery removed.

Call of Duty 4 has this EMP stuff so it's obviously not a new invention

Now, you're speaking crazy.

**♘Top Hat Zebra** · March 15, 2012, 06:35 AM

No no no, I thought you could turn that off in the options.

**MrHenry** · March 18, 2012, 04:35 PM

Lol! This thread had me seriously cracking up

It ain't so bad if all of the power grids fail and the world falls into a power blackout for a while. The only nasty thing would be the "nuclear winter"

That's why we shouldn't rely 110% on electricity. I know that food production etc would fail, but if you got knowledge before hand you could catch your own food and wipe your own *** on some leaves
