A dirty bomb won't destroy the electronic infrastructure. There is no nuclear blast. A dirty bomb's sole purpose is to cause widespread panic. It would take a nuclear detonation, causing an EMP, to destroy electronics - and even then it would have to either be a gigantic one at exactly the right altitude and location, or a dozen or more detonated in strategic locations (and the right altitudes) to effectively destroy electronic infrastructure.
thanks for details! the doomer gets to me at times and sometimes I just do not get around to researching how things work.
thankfully the other chat group members are positive & based!
That's what we're here for. I did, however, make a mistake in saying a dozen. It is possible to do it with just one blast in the right place and at the right altitude because of how the blast works. Line of sight will reach a lot of places depending on where it is detonated, but the real worry is the sweeping wave of overloads making it's way through the grid. If the ERCOT (Texas) grid was the target the line of sight would hit 3 grids, and the waves would go east and west. Fortunately that issue is being worked on though.
It is possible to have an automatic break in the grid based on these massive waves, which would certainly take out the Texas grid (in this scenario) but might protect the other two. It has been theorized, but not created or tested yet. Hopefully they get on that. Automatic breaks could help if for example the detonation was only over the east or west. One grid would be toast, but if the automatic breaks work faster than the waves of overloads do, the other 2 grids might survive - at least that attack anyway.
If it were me, I'd consider 2 missiles over each grid (6 total missiles) and then start lobbing more to try to overwhelm the golden dome (that doesn't yet exist either). I saw something that said it will have a finite amount of missiles/lasers/whatever so we would have to be strategic in which missiles we try to intercept.
thanks again. & thanks to our “operators” working hard for our defense.
Also, Iran doesn’t have missiles that can hit the USA yet, right?
Nobody is 100% sure. The thought is they are 10 years away, but they did fire on Diego Garcia this year. The missiles went about 2500 miles but were intercepted or failed. They could likely hit many of our allies in Europe (assuming we don't intercept them), and certainly our middle-eastern allies. They need to almost double that range to hit the USA. Alaska is around 4100 miles and is the closest point for them.
We also have a bunch of bases that are within their known range. The other issue is one of their allies could give them a missile that can reach us. Of course they could easily just move missiles closer via storage containers. Not much we can do about that one.
