If you don't know the answer, why the fuck did you get all shitty with me? You are a pompous asshole and I just exposed your limited knowledge on this subject. Now kindly go fuck yourself, asshat.If there is no prime height for shutting down power, then you can pick one. How far will it shut down power? This should be an easy question for a "nuclear officer". You talked a big game, now back it up. This is your last chance to not look like youre full of shit.At the prime height with a 240 kiloton yield. How far will it knock out power?Why do you keep typing all those words, when all you have to type is a number? You talk a big game, but you have no fucking clue what youre talking about.
Listen shit for brains, there is no number!
Pick a weapon yield, pick and altitude you can detonate it at, determine the gamma ray yield of the weapon, and then determine the strength of the earth's magnetic field relative to the point of detonation. Then pick a point on the ground and what system you are targeting and how well it is shielded. Only then we can determine what level of damage will occur.
I am sorry that you apparently have such a limited education that you cannot fathom the complexities of these systems.
There is no prime height! You obviously refuse to read the link. Where are you detonating it, as in what latitude and longitude? Are you looking to fry integrated circuits or blow transformers?
All of those variables figure into the calculations.
You do know that in the Manhattan Project the scientists had no idea how big the explosion would be. Too many variables and not enough data.
That is the same for EMPs considering we have tested any since before the partial test ban treaty in 1963.
I said I was a nuclear weapons officer. I don't design them or build them. I know how to use nuclear weapons in battle. Since my weapons were not EMP capable.
You can keep arguing about this topic but you might as well ask me what the last digit of pi is! No one knows for certain. That is why I provided the links to show you just that. If you want to put your fingers in your ears and scream "La, la, la, la, la!" at the top of your lungs, you would probably accomplish more.
We stop testing these weapons when I was 2 years old. Does that give you a clue?
