>Pentagon Seeks EMP Weapon To Eliminate Drone Swarms
>Faced with the reality that drones are reshaping the modern battlefields in Ukraine and Gaza, the Pentagon has been tasked with finding a budget-friendly solution to eliminate these 'flying IEDs.' While missiles are too expensive, and laser beams are a distant dream, the next best cost-effective weapon US military officials are eyeing up could be electromagnetic pulse weapons to counter drone swarms.

Read carefully the news.
The military has been watching The Matrix movie and wants that technology. The problem is that it does not exist. Not even a working laboratory proof of concept is known. The EMP pulse is just propaganda, a fantasy pushed on the normies to scare them once again with something they cannot see or even understand.

>it does not exist
It just hasn't been developed yet. The conceptual science make sense. The EMPs released by nuclear weapons (NEMPs)have similar effects that mess up comms and electronic equipment. Mitigating lectromagnetic interference is also a serious factor in engineering, and . The question is how to produce a wide-reaching one without setting off a nuke. Non-nuclear EMP weapons (NNEMPs) already exist, but they're not effective enough to be significant on the battlefield, but they may be as autonomous weapons and drones become increasingly prevalent on the battlefield, as simply shooting down a swarm of hundreds of drones with bombs strapped to them isn't always effective.
>The EMP pulse
*Electro-magnetic Pulse. "EMP Pulse" is redundant.
>a fantasy
The fantasy is using them to effect wide areas and destroy power grids like they do in sci-fi movies. EMPs are very real, just not effective on that scale. EMPs themselves are real, and come from a variety of natural and manmade sources.
>to scare them once again with something they cannot see or even understand
I am far more concerned with swarms of thousands of explosive drones attacking buildings and infrastructure than I am about any EMP weapon weapon made to counter them.

I think the real propaganda here is the US army pretending that it's prepared to face the shift towards autonomous weaponry in the near future by promoting this technology to counter it. It's to be seen whether or not that will actually matter in a peer-to-peer war.

You're saying electromagnetic pulses aren't real? They happen every time lightning strikes, ffs.

You must be the professional sagger.

I sage just as often here as I did on 4chan years prior. Idk why you get so pissy about it.

Meanwhile on the Yemeni front.

Yet another story from France, from 2024-04-10
>On the waterfront of the French city of Bordeaux, an Afghan man stabbed an Algerian in front of bystanders because the latter was drinking wine during Eid al-Fitr – a celebration marking the end of Ramadan
>“The attacker reproached the victims for drinking alcohol during Eid. They told him it was none of his business, and he hit them, then left. They threw cans at him, and he returned with a knife,” the prosecutor said.

I wonder why they're in Europe.

Flagged in Occupied Palestine.
>An off-duty Israeli reservist was wounded Sunday morning after after he removed a Palestinian flag from the side of the road, which then exploded.

Very important story flying under the radar at the moment.
Weimar's hyperinflation incoming.
