In 1999 The US and NATO knocked out 70% of power plants in Serbia with "soft bombs" [View all]

If the power goes out in Iran tonight... maybe the military is planning on using "soft bombs".

Hard to believe they'd destroy them permanently.

A graphite bomb is intended to be a non-lethal weapon used to disable an electrical grid. The bomb works by spreading a dense cloud of extremely fine, chemically treated carbon filaments over air-insulated high voltage installations like transformers and power lines, causing short-circuits and subsequent disruption of the electricity supply in an area, a region or even an entire small country. The weapon is sometimes referred to as a blackout bomb or soft bomb because its direct effects are largely confined to the targeted electrical power facility, with minimal risk of immediate collateral damage.
