E-Bombs

a reply to: Zaphod58

ahh good read thank you for that link, i don't know why i didn't think of searching for 'E-bomb" I'm sure i would have come up with ALL sorts of interesting links, not for what i was looking for but interesting none the less. It seems that the bombs use plasma to make a magnetic field, i wonder if a powerful enough laser or partial weapon would induce a EMP shock wave

The advantage of putting these in the mark 82 is the act of intercepting it can set it off. So the target is doubly screwed.

Russian device you remember but probably not the one that does what you're talking about

So this is the item you described however it's not the item you're wanting to know about, that would be EMP device able to be used as a SAM warhead. Those devices belong to a class known as pulsed power generators. The Russians are known for their expertise in them, but there's now an American device of this type in some stage of testing that attaches to an M16/M4 like a suppressor or blank firing adapter and uses standard blank rounds to generate disruption to enemy equipment. What I've read even indicates it's pretty directional.

I wouldn't put much stock in the T-50. It's over budget and under performing. Russia has cut the initial buy to 12, India has cut their buy and is unhappy with the aircraft as it stands. There are rumors they may cut it completely.

This is Indias Version of the PAK FA.



Here is a different Version of the twin seater.



According to what i read they are not scraping the PAK FA Project. But just put up 25 billion into it.

They've already killed all of the two seat versions of it. They cut the total order down, and all the 2 seat versions were in the cut. The big reason they're going ahead with the T-50 right now is because of France and the Rafale deal. Dassault has stalled so long that they've frustrated India, so they're in final negotiations to go ahead with the T-50. They're going to end up in the same boat with the T-50 though, with the delays that the program has hit.

I'll bet Lockeed is doing some schmoozing in New Delhi right about now.

I bet both Lockheed and Boeing both are. Boeing would love to sell some F-15s to India I'm sure.

Having bad blood with the empire I doubt the Typhoon even got a look in.
