My own belief is that neither Russia nor China has anything to gain from vapourising much of the US, they WANT your mineral wealth,technology, resources etc its no good if it all gets toasted, I think if anything they would use three or four very small devices enhanced for EMP and detonated at very high altitude, this would severely damage the US but not destroy the country.
I don't see that, an EMP bomb wouldn't prevent the Minuteman III missile from being fired, it would take L-Alt 300kt+ or 1o0kt ground blast to take out the silos then we have the Tridents, once nuclear missiles are fired and Ident NATO would respond. An EMP bomb would be considered a prelude to something larger thus once the first EMP detonates all gloves are off.
I don't think we would fire off a full volley of mega nukes in response to a limited attack
The only LOGICAL reason to EMP us would surely be as a precursor to an invasion, not a full on nuke barrage ? then again the Russians and Chinese get their crazies from the same store as we do so who knows
Exactly, but this is where the US's biggest ally (geography) comes into play. Simply put, neither nation (or even them combined), really have a means of delivering enough troops, aircraft, and armor in a non-detectable manner, to do this. And while the civilian infrastructure is pretty vulnerable to EMP, the military....not so much. So, the invaders aren't going to have a good time.
The difference is when a people are on their own soil, they don't give up. When overseas troops get demoralized after a long time and are more likely to loose their zeal for continuing the fight. I do think the good ole American redneck would be pretty formidable. In the real world, no one is close to strong enough to attack the U.S. Mainland directly, and don't need to. Isis is using the same playbook that took down Rome. They just use small scale attacks, which will bankrupt us by overreacting to them. Every time something happens we spend hundreds of millions on extra security. Those are dollars we don't have and continue to borrow. I think this kind of weapon will bring us down faster than a bomb.Remember the old adage from as far back and as far east as you can get, From Ghengis Khan to Emperer chin, to Mao Tze Dong, To Ho Chi Min to many an Islamic leader, They simply don't care if they lose 1 million lives in a war, or 5 million, or ten million or 50 million, so long as in the end they come out on top.
Russians, Mongols, Persians, Vietnamese, Chinese, Moors, Asyrians you name it they will see insane numbers of their people die in order to succeed, that's why they have the advantage of us in the west , We treasure, life, liberty, freedom, they value a glorious death for the Cause or party or Allah.
My friend Maverick said " Given to the fact the US has over 280 million firearm owners an invasion would simply be to costly let along US Military response."
Remember Vietnam as a poor example but the US had totally massive overwhelming military superiority over the Min or Cong but the result was defeat, same as us Brits in India. If that psyche, that mentality, that willingness to die for their cause, god or leader saw them set foot on Conus I don't think 280 million fire arms will be enough. Especially if they spread out and operate as insurgents and terrorists instead of full on combat troops.

Still doesn't solve the geographical problem of GETTING them here. You have to put them IN something to do so, and those THINGS can be blown to smithereens, neatly packaged for group destruction, without some kind of stealth way in. The lack of these THINGS is where the East simply cannot mount an invasion.
EG First they take the Aleutians and Bear Island, Then they go for Alaska and Canada, then they have a 5000 mile long border to cross, just food for thought, OR they take Mexico with the aid of the left wing countries of Central America
T-64 was originally designed with anti-radiation protection. Protection of the crew from radioactive and toxic substances and bacteriological weapons is ensured by sealing the fighting compartment and the control compartment and creating in them an overpressure of the cleaned air. At the same time, the system carries light and sound alarms, monitoring the level of radiation and excessive pressure inside the tank, as well as monitoring the presence of toxic agents outside the tank. The ZMP system consists of the following main parts: the device for radiation and chemical reconnaissance GO-27, the instruments ZETsP-3 for controlling the actuating mechanisms of the containment, the filtration unit, the actuators, the ventilation valve and the ventilation hatch, the sub-gun.Saw a report that Ukraine is adding radiation protection on their T64 Tanks . With the makeup of their defense forces adding something that is unnecessary is unlikely . Wonder what the intelligence agencies are hearing .
Alright good to hear from You . A news feed I saw said some anti radiation upgrade is being added to T64's . May have been a old post or just click bait .T-64 was originally designed with anti-radiation protection.

A similar system was still on m-55.
At present, it has survived, since usually the same system is used to purify the air entering the engine cylinders on the tank. А two-stage air cleaner with an ejection removal of dust from the dust collector. The first stage of purification is a cyclone unit consisting of 96 cyclones. The cyclone apparatus provides preliminary air purification from dust by 99.4%. After passing the air sequentially through the lower, middle and upper cassettes, which are the second purification stage, the air finally cleaned up to 99.8% from the head of the air cleaner through the pipe goes into the supercharger and then through the intake manifolds into the cylinders of the engine.
On serial T-64 which are delivered to our army nenochenno new from anti-radiation protection do not put. It is possible that something new is installed on tanks that are exported, but this depends on the desire of the customer's country.Alright good to hear from You .

Most likely based on Toyota Tundra. The previous armored car was made based on the Toyota Land Cruiser, because the instruction was from her.Built on a Ford F-550 Chassis. Me like!
