Graphite Bomb
- theamk 3y agoMy first thought: "no way this can work permanently" After reading the post: > After initial success in disabling Serbian electric power systems, the electric supply was restored in less than 24 hours. [..] In the later stage [..] used conventional bombs and rockets to target power highlines and transformer stations.
- I_Am_Nous 3y agoSeems like it would be good for an individual mission, kill power to the area to gain an advantage, finish the objective and leave. Power can be repaired pretty quickly if there are parts to replace the shorted ones, so civilian risks (i.e. cholera if water can't be treated without electricity) are reduced.
- pennomi 3y agoIt seems that as far as warfare goes, this is a downright polite munition to explode. That being the case, I don’t think it’ll see much more use.
