Report: U.S. Has Developed Missiles that Could Destroy the Electronics of Iran's Nuclear Facilities


(Daily Mail-UK) Ronald Kessler - The U.S. Air Force has deployed missiles that could destroy the electronics of Iran's nuclear facilities with high-power microwaves, rendering them useless, without causing any fatalities. Known as the Counter-Electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP), the missiles were built by Boeing and first tested successfully in 2012. They were installed in various locations around the globe and became operational in 2019. The beauty of the high power microwave (HPM) missile is that even if a bunker is buried in a mountain, HPM penetrates the facilities through its connections to power cables, communication lines, and antennas. Thus, HPM can penetrate any underground military or nuclear facility and destroy its electronics. Targeted at command and control centers, the missile could render any country's military inoperable. And one missile can hit multiple targets in succession.
