Washington Free Beacon: China, Russia Building Super-EMP Bombs for ‘Blackout Warfare’
Report reveals electromagnetic war scenarios
Several nations, including China and Russia, are building powerful nuclear bombs designed to produce super-electromagnetic pulse (EMP) waves capable of devastating all electronics—from computers to electric grids—for hundreds of miles, according to a newly-released congressional study.
A report by the now-defunct Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from EMP Attack, for the first time reveals details on how nuclear EMP weapons are integrated into the military doctrines of China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran.

WNU Editor: I am always skeptical of these reports. Especially when they make the claim that Iran is only one year from manufacturing such a nuclear weapon. I also do not accept the position that an EMP attack would NOT be treated as a nuclear attack. If an EMP weapon is used, it will be treated as an attack that would be quickly followed by a real nuclear attack. In that situation, the question would then be "who would then launch an overwhelming nuclear strike first".
