S Korea to develop weapon targeting electricity sources
By Robert Karniol JDW Asia-Pacific Bureau Chief

South Korea has announced plans to develop an air-launched weapon
to disrupt electrical power lines, electricity substations and
power-generating plants.
According to an official, this should prove particularly effective
in incapacitating underground military facilities favoured by rival
North Korea.
The Black Bomb project is aimed at producing an air-launched weapon
similar to the US-made BLU-114/B - a submunition payload for the
CBU-94/B dispenser weapon that was first used during Operation
Allied Force to take out Serbian transformer stations.

Singapore may want to cooperate with the South Koreans in this
field. Without electricity, the enemy will definitely have a harder
time.
