| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Beijing-based Poly Technologies is offering a new cargo bomb concept for sale, capable of 'soft attacks' knocking out power grids in a similar manner to the US CBU-94/B. Every 250 kg Carbon Filament Cluster Bomb (CFCB) carries 147 submunitions, each of which contains 32 bundles of 30 m-long carbon filaments that are scattered into a cloud when the bomb detonates, covering an area of 6,000 m 2 , shorting out power lines and disrupting grids operating in the 100-330 kV range. |
