British media: US secretly deployed "humane" CHAMP microwave missiles to counter Iran

The US has secretly deployed "humane" CHAMP microwave missiles to counter Iran. But where exactly these weapons are deployed is not reported.

American journalist Ronald Kessler writes about this in his article for the British newspaper Daily Mail.

British media clarifies that CHAMP microwave missiles are capable of destroying any electronics, including electronic equipment of Iranian nuclear facilities. It is exposed to microwaves, which, the author claims, are harmless to people. Kessler states that the application of this weapons will be able to disable many of Iran's strategic facilities, including nuclear ones. In this case, casualties can be completely avoided.

The Americans began deploying such missiles in various parts of the planet in 2019.

The microwave equipment used to defeat electronics is built into air-launched cruise missiles and carried to the launch site by B-52 strategic bombers. CHAMP's range exceeds 1100 kilometers.

Such missiles are capable of flying into enemy airspace at low altitude and “frying” computer chips, rendering any electronic devices useless without causing collateral damage. The microwave pulse causes a sharp surge in voltage, which damages the equipment before the protection can operate.

It is extremely difficult to detect and destroy such a missile, since along the way it disables enemy radars. He, the author claims, does not even have the opportunity to understand why his electronics suddenly stopped working.

It's amazing how much power the EMI source must have inside?????

It’s even more surprising what kind of protection this wunderwaffle’s own electronics must have.
It looks like someone wants to take the laurels of British “scientists”

That's what I'm talking about. Yes, simple high-quality grounding and shielding of equipment reduces the capabilities of these microwave ovens to nothing. I remember they “scared” us of electromagnetic radiation from a nuclear explosion. When all the electrics in cars simply fail. It turned out that simple shielding of ignition systems reduces all these consequences to nothing. We were also told that during EMR, all microcircuits and transistors are covered. Well, here we go again with shielded blocks, the station begins to weigh a little more, and again, high-quality grounding. For that matter, ground-based weapons have greater capabilities to destroy electronics in “microwave missiles” than the “microwave missiles” themselves, due to the absence of restrictions on the mass of the emitter and its power than that of any heavier-than-air device. Moreover, it turns out that the smaller the device, the less power it has, and, of course, the capabilities. Another fake. I remember in the 70s the Americans talked about the MX-X rocket, which is carried through tunnels, and no one knows where it will fire from... And the fact that the rocket will not fire from the tunnel, since it either needs to leave, but the exits are under control is taken, or it is necessary to make mines from which it will be possible to shoot. Yeah, ours were so concerned about the problem of how to find rockets rolling underground that they just did

It looks like this Kessler has already personally tested the harmlessness of microwaves. I stuck my head in the microwave and nothing happened. And what could happen if the head is a solid bone.

When the door is open, you cannot turn on the microwave; the protection will work. That's why nothing happened.

[Electrical]

Do you also think that he has a solid bone in his head? Since he is not able to disable basic protection.

Rather, his head is made of pressed bone chips. Bone marrow is found in large bones.

Hardware shielding. Steel casings of equipment, buildings made of reinforced concrete - all this will interfere with the effects of microwave radiation, even moisture in the air. And in order not to create an instant impulse, but to radiate it into space for a long time with a wide beam - what kind of energy source should be on the rocket? Something is wrong here.

It’s just that NATO cooks began to add more SOI to their information products.
Either they will launch 12 invisible missiles at once, or they will place humane missiles in unknown places.

One of the main ways to protect electronic equipment is the use of Zener diodes (in Russian: zener diodes...)!

We are waiting for Ukraine to have such weapons and they will be the first to use them, as was the case, for example, with cluster munitions... Our leadership loves to show humanity at the expense of the lives of our military personnel...

[Electrical]

Why is our “Alabuga” gathering dust in the closet?

Apparently because this is only possible for British “scientists”, and the rest of the inhabitants of the madhouse like this Kessler.

As for harmlessness to people, he bent it..... if the silicon in the chips has time to be damaged, then the eyes will have time to do it all the more...

[belovvladimir]

Nonsense, nonsense, and more nonsense!
To disable electronics, it would take a nuclear explosion or a lightning strike to hit the equipment, what size should a generator on a rocket be to emit such pulses in order to disable electronics, this is not a jammer where they drive interference radiation of different frequencies around in a circle high speed, when the radar cannot detect the frequency of radiation, and at the same time these are constant pulses from low to hyper high frequencies with variable radiation, in the presence of constant power supply to the equipment, and to shove a generator or emitter into a rocket at the level of a lightning strike is complete nonsense, Not having much knowledge of electronics, I can say one thing, this is fantastic, a lot of factors are needed, power supply for the generator, emitter and then directed action, but to implement this in a rocket is that the size of an ICBM should be, nonsense!

[AlexWar]

I think in Ukraine these are not used? That air defense sometimes cannot respond
By the way, why don’t we have such missiles? They would burn out all the electronics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It would be nice to use such missiles against their patriots. In fact, the missile electronics are well protected.

[Emperor_Alive]

If they had such a weapon, they would have simply used it long ago.
Both against Iran and against North Korea. And against us.
The news looks like fake news for the Democratic election campaign,
wanting to show that they have everything under control.

[Vlodek]

They damage the chips!!! Ha!!! And we still have lamps in some places in the control rooms! get tempted, guys! Doesn't do much harm to microwave lamps

[AlexWar]

These Champ missiles can be disabled by some kind of signal.

Either democratic or humane - there is only one task... to destroy... they have become completely perverted...

Literary nonsense, designed for the minds of those unencumbered by school knowledge.
Approximately from the same series as the fascinating stories about the electronic warfare "Khibiny" and the destroyer "Donald Cook" that once filled the pages of our media.
In short, to create a pulse of such power to remotely disable the radar electronics would require, at a minimum, a nuclear explosion. And in general, with the wireless transmission of such powers, the inverse square law begins to work, or, for simplicity, the pulse power drops in proportion to the square of the distance
“along the way it disables enemy radars” - unless it flies through enemy equipment blocks)
In general, another hyperboloid of engineer Garin

[Dirty Liar]

fascinating stories about electronic warfare "Khibiny"

What's wrong with Khibiny? It seems that something like “disable the radar” was not stated. They simply make it difficult to detect, which gives time to strike the radars. Which, in principle, is what happened in Georgia, when we suffered losses from air defense until a pair of SU-34s with Khibiny missiles suppressed them (S-300s near Gori). The Khibiny electronic warfare units were not crushed by the electronic warfare systems themselves, but by missile and bomb strikes. Electronic warfare simply gave time to deliver these same strikes.

[sdivt]

What's wrong with Khibiny? It seems that something like “disables the radar” was not stated.

There were a lot of things stated there)
There is a feeling that you simply missed the enchanting publications and vital discussions of this story
I won’t retell it so as not to spoil your impression of what you read.
Below is a link to one example:
https://rg.ru/2014/04/30/reb-site.html?ysclid=lv7uhaivuj268382279

[Dirty Liar]

Ah... I remember that. Well, it's just the media being so stupid. It’s enough just to look at the declared functionality of the Khibiny electronic warfare system:

- delay in detecting the carrier aircraft as an object of attack for the enemy;
- camouflage the true object against the background of false ones;
- difficulty in measuring the distance to an object, its speed and angular position;
- deterioration of the characteristics of the “on-pass” tracking mode when scanning the beam of the radar antenna;
- increased time and difficulty in acquiring an object when switching to continuous radio direction finding mode.

There is no talk of any “turning off the radars” or even turning off anything at all.

[sdivt]

The media is just so stupid

Well, where did we learn about these American miracle missiles?
Suddenly - from the same media)
That’s why I say it’s a cat-lamp story from the same series

And yes, the Khibiny mountains themselves are definitely good
But - in their place, if you do not attribute miracle properties to them

[Dirty Liar]

The media have been degrading for a long time. For the sake of some loud sensation, we are ready to write anything.
However, if we look at the story with “Donald Cook” from a slightly different angle, taking into account the real functionality of “Khibiny”, we get, for example, from the Americans’ side:
Out of nowhere (detection delay) a Su-24 jumps out. Moreover, on the radar it is not at all in the place where it actually is (difficulty in measuring location characteristics). Then, suddenly, false targets appear on the radar (by the way, our missiles also have this feature - the Ukrainians admitted that when missile strikes are carried out on them, there are a sufficient number of false targets). At the same time, target tracking and capture are extremely difficult.
As a result, in a figurative sense, one can just say that “the ship has gone blind and deaf.”
But this is only in theory.

[Knell wardenheart]

I doubt that at nuclear facilities this could seriously damage anything key. Such facilities are built extensively, including taking into account shielding of outgoing radiation (including equipment) and withstanding mechanical external influences. This means that the equipment will be quite well protected from radiation by design and redundant, the objects themselves will be relatively multi-layered, which will reduce any such impacts to 0.
Yes, radars can handle such things. But this is not an absolute weapon, of course.

[polar bear]

To write such nonsense about harmless microwave radiation that burns chips, but is harmless to people, you must not only get bad grades at school, but also not even have common sense at the household level.

[Alaburga]

It's time for awesome stories from mattress covers.

[Dutchman Michel]

This is an ordinary throw-in. Promoting weapons that don't exist

[geor.tcherniaev]

It should have been written that the “miracle rocket” is launched not from the B-52, but from the Death Star - it would have been more plausible. And along the way it destroys not only radars, but also microwaves, cell phones and toasters. With a sledgehammer.

However, this product was successfully tested 10 years ago and did not jam all the drones and other equipment, but rather disabled it at the test site. I can’t judge the usefulness of the product; only military specialists can give a definition.

Are you surprised? Remember that it was these same British scientists who frightened us all, that at the moment of transition to the year 2000, all computers would freeze, computers would burn out, centuries-old chronometers would bark - and the planet would plunge into the 19th century...
And immediately everything will fall into place, and you will stop being surprised by this nonsense.
