The news of the mainland's development of graphite bombs has attracted widespread attention, and one can paralyze the entire city of Japan! So how good is it?
Graphite bomb, as the name suggests, is an explosive device with graphite as the main material, which has a more special killing method and power than traditional bombs.
When the graphite bomb explodes, the high temperature and pressure generated by the explosion will spray the graphite powder onto the surrounding targets, forming a layer of graphite flame, which has extremely high temperature and energy, can burn the target instantly.
The killing mode of graphite bomb is completely different from that of traditional bombs, which makes it have a very high killing effect when attacking ground targets, and traditional bombs mainly kill targets through shock waves and fragments generated by direct explosions, but their killing range is relatively limited, compared with the flames produced by graphite bombs, more durable, and extensive, which is its unique advantage.
After the graphite bomb explodes, it will spray the surrounding graphite powder around the target, forming a layer of graphite flame.
This flame has high heat and energy, and is capable of burning and spreading continuously, burning everything around the target. Compared with traditional bombs, graphite bombs produce a wider area of flame coverage and a larger killing range, making it more effective when attacking densely populated areas and urban targets.
Especially in modern urban warfare, cities are densely populated and complex buildings, and traditional bombs are often difficult to effectively defeat fortifications or destroy urban infrastructure, while the flame characteristics of graphite bombs can penetrate deep into urban buildings and cause more serious damage.
It can cause large-scale fires, destroy buildings, transportation facilities and communication networks, and seriously interfere with the enemy's strategic deployment and people's livelihood operations. Therefore, the lethal effect of graphite bombs in attacking urban targets far exceeds that of traditional bombs, and has become an important weapon in modern warfare.
However, graphite bombs also have certain limitations, such as the possibility of causing widespread fires, damaging the environment, and causing civilian casualties. Therefore, when using graphite bombs, it is necessary to weigh the pros and cons to avoid causing unnecessary humanitarian disasters.
In addition to its great lethality, it also has other advantages.
First of all, since its main ingredient is graphite powder, this material is relatively easy to obtain and inexpensive, making it relatively convenient to manufacture and use graphite bombs. Compared with some high-cost, high-tech materials, graphite is relatively simple to prepare and relatively low production costs, so it can be produced on a large scale and widely used to improve its sustainability and practicability in war.
Secondly, it has strong concealment. Because of its different killing methods from conventional bombs, it is difficult to detect by conventional means of defense. Traditional bombs, which mainly cause damage through the shock wave generated by the metal casing and explosive substances, are easy to be detected by radar, infrared detection and other means.
Graphite bombs, on the other hand, are killed by the continuous flames generated, which are difficult to identify and intercept by traditional defense systems. This concealment, which increases the suddenness and unpredictability of it, makes it an effective tactical weapon.
When we understand what a graphite bomb is. The question before the return was, can a graphite bomb really paralyze the entire city of Japan? Is this an exaggeration?
We can't make a conclusion about this question immediately because of its strength. Such an answer is definitely unscientific, and the specific situation still needs to be objectively analyzed.
The question of whether one is enough to cover the entire city depends on a number of factors.
Factors such as the explosion range, killing radius, and coverage area of graphite bombs need to be fully considered. Theoretically, a single graphite bomb may not be able to cover the entire Japanese city, especially a large city, and it is still necessary for multiple graphite bombs to work together to achieve the effect of paralyzing the entire city.
We also need to know that Japan, as a developed country, has a well-developed defense system and emergency rescue measures. In the face of emergencies, the Japanese government and military can take swift action, activate the state of emergency, organize rescue operations and other measures to restore order in the city and reduce losses as soon as possible, and this defense and response capability will greatly reduce the degree of damage that graphite bombs may cause.
Therefore, the claim that a graphite bomb alone can paralyze the entire city of Japan is indeed an exaggeration.
After all, in the process, Japan will also increase its own national defense system, as well as contingency measures. We will even work together to maintain regional security and stability through international cooperation and information sharing. Therefore, no matter how you look at this matter, it is not easy to use a graphite bomb to paralyze the entire city of Japan.
