China’s Electromagnetic ‘Blackout Bomb’: A New Dimension of Warfare

China has unveiled a new advanced weapon system known as the “Blackout Bomb”—a non-lethal electromagnetic pulse (EMP)-style weapon designed to disable electronic infrastructure with surgical precision. According to a CCTV-run social media video, the system is launched from a land-based platform and deploys 90 submunitions mid-air. These canisters disperse ultra-fine, chemically-treated carbon filaments engineered to short-circuit high-voltage systems.

Key specs:

  • Range: 290 km
  • Warhead Weight : 490 kg
  • Area of Effect: ~10,000 square meters

This weapon is intended to knock out power grids, communication networks, military radars, and C2 centers—effectively blinding a target nation ahead of a conventional or cyber strike. Analysts note the bomb’s strategic first-strike capability makes it useful beyond the battlefield, including attacks on civilian infrastructure like hospitals and airports.

This development marks a significant evolution in China’s asymmetric warfare toolkit, emphasizing systems disruption rather than kinetic destruction

Whoa, isn’t humanity clever? Any wonder the ancients left so many clues as what happens when technology goes ballistic?

With physical components involved, this would get around hardened circuits designed for EMPs then?

A Fu-Manchu Black-Market State-Terrorist’s wet-dream come true?
Coming to a CIA targeted city; near you?
Now “they” can get on with the new Goebbels’ Press Trust enemy: China.
Not the Russians did it!
NO!
The Chinese did it!

OH!
And, EVERYTHING “Public” went down.
Thank God, Data Farms had enforced electromagnetic military-grade fire walls;
with their independent power sources[paid for by the “public”, of course!]!
