>>64690719It also makes the pacemaker of every boomer in a 20km radius go E-EEE-EEE
>>64690721Acceptable collateral damage.
If it's not posted on defence24.pl defence24.com it's fake and gay.
>>64690743The idea of an EMP blaster isn't that far fetched, the problem will be power source. Yeah you could use them to defend stationary things like radars or SAMs, but I'd imagine it needs too much juice to mount on a tank so they will probably be stuck as static defenses.
>>64690767IDK where this misconception comes from but it takes a split second pulse to kill a drone and hydrocarbons are the densest energy source around, short of nuclear. The powersource isn't even slightly a problem. You can power HPMs mounted on drones with Lipo batteries!The issue is the cost of the HPM generator (high, since it's a rare form of electronics right now) and the inherently short range relative to lasers and guns.
>>64690721Where is downside?
Hasn't the US had handheld things like this for almost a decade now?
>>64691018Sure thing John. Everything ever invented was previously already invented by some Johns in their legendary garages.
>>64690739>>64690933What about me, I'm not a boomer.

>>64691038If you have to aim with this then I'd take a shotgun. It would also bring meat to the table.
>>64691038This is a disruptor, the thing in op melts onboard electronics
>>64690719Could be great if it has at least 5000 meters of effective range
Gonna be so fucking funny if immediately after peace breaks out everyone not slavic just reveals their "makes drones shut down" doohickeys and the whole concept never ever really matters again.
>>64691036We all have to bring sacrifices to bring down the zigger menace anon.
