Right now Ukrainian soldiers on a man for man basis are probably the best armed in the world
As this shows often each one carrying what would be squad level weaponry elsewhere

Its pretty much accepted that 6th gen air will be AI/machine only since the planes are already held back by the human operator in regards they could turn them to mush with the G forces etc they could do without having to save the pilot

To an extent, not fully, especially against super EMP's.

WTF is Super EMP???? EMP is EMP and the EMP that is given off by a Nuke military hardware is shielded against

Super EMP basically using nukes to create the EMP

I guess serious military hardware is shielded but smaller stuff never will be.

I bet that yacht appears in Israel or in the Crimea..

Some of the Russian Superyachts are rumoured to be heading through the Suez Canal then on to Vladivostok. It's pretty much the only viable Russian port they can go to.

Abramovich is currently spiriting away his $600 million superyacht so I agree and I think he'll be fine: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...ads-west-across-mediterranean-after-sanctions

He was in a hurry to get that out of Barcelona.

Any EMP strong enough to take out shielded hardware will also take out your own equipment

An especially designed nuke to give off massively higher amounts of EMP.

Getting on for 200,000 volts per Metre.

Equivalent to direct hit by several lightening strikes at once.

Will fry anything.

In the long run they are just delaying the inevitable, lack of service / support / spare parts will render all these Superyachts useless.

Unless you have rather old out dated equipment, that is turned off at the time of the burst.

Or you are well out of range at the time.

In a real war, a few EMP's set off, and all drones are useless.

Along with tons of other equipment. You'll probably find very little on a soldier these days that isn't electronic.

As I said big stuff may be fine, small stuff not.
It will be stuff like sighting, guidance chips for NLAWs etc that get fried.
If your going that far however maybe just set off a proper nuke

In theory EMP weapons are great against civilian areas as other than indirect deaths they are far friendlier to populations whilst knocking out basically the vast majority of electronic weapons.

War has shown one thing, there is always a competition to create a defence against a weapon, then a new weapon that beats the defence, rinse repeat
Its always happened and always will.

Glad we have that cleared up now that the EMP experts have arrived

Chris Wilson · 10 Mar 2022 at 20:34

Time to dust off the old valve radio... Semiconductors are so fragile in a nuclear attack situation.

You may mock, but they got all their info direct from Forbes you know.

Perhaps he means their leaders and if that is the case he's bang on.

That's a fair difference from 'Chinese people'.

They will most likely be mothballed until the worst has blown over.

Once they reemerge there are plenty of places in the Indian and Pacific oceans to cruise and I'm sure they can find all the skilled trades in Asia if needed. Sooner or later they'll be welcomed back into the the Med and Caribbean.

No idea what’s going tbh but either way it’s not good.

so what is going on then ?

Ukraine is being used as a pawn by global wannabe leaders to draw Russia into a conflict and paint it as the bad guy so they can sanction the economy out of it and ultimately destroy it so they can fulfil their plan of a centralised world.
