Air Force Research Laboratory developed D.I.M.E Weapons

AFRL is the U.S. Air Force's only organization wholly dedicated to the discovery, development, and integration of warfighting technologies for air, space and cyberspace forces.

AFRL traces its roots back to the vision of early airpower leaders who believed in science as the key to air supremacy.

DIME bombs blast a superheated "micro-shrapnel" of powdered heavy metal tungsten alloy (HMTA). Studies indicate that HMTA embedded in the body disrupts biochemistry and rapidly causes cancer. Like depleted uranium (DU), HMTA is genotoxic—it is capable of inflicting genetic mutations.

Publicly slated for deployment in 2008, DIME bombs are small but unusually powerful. Their carbon fibre casings make "more of the blast energy available as blast as opposed to being absorbed in steel case". The carbon reportedly breaks into "thousands of harmless fibres" to prevent unintended casualties from casing shrapnel.

The 'footprint of the DIME blast is much smaller than a conventional bombs, because gravity and air resistance quickly drag the dense, finely powdered "micro-shrapnel" to the ground. The blast radius is reportedly as small as 25 feet.

DIME is part of the Air Forces Focused Lethality Munitions (FLM) program, which is expected to "allow" the targeting of "terrorists" wherever they are, even in places "previously off limits to the warfighter."

The ideal of FLM is to reliably kill every human within the blast zone—one way or another. It is 'total war on a 50-foot circle, within which deaths are not admitted as collateral, but purchased as insurance.
Israel's new weapon "slices" off its victims legs, leaving "signs of heat and burns near the point of the amputation". Its "as if a saw was used to cut through the bone", according to Dr. Habas al-Wahid, head of the ER at Gaza's Shuhada al-Aqsa hospital.

Viewing photographs of the living and dead Palestinian victims of this device, many of whom are children, we notice patches of darkened but unburned skin, possibly where metal powder was driven into and/or through the skin by blast force. A child's torso is peppered with holes, some of which, judging from doctors reports, probably tunnel through to exit wounds in the back. The skin and muscle of one victim is ripped into a blood-encrusted pulp, as if blasted at close range with tiny bird-shot. Some of the corpses are unrecognisable. Most of the recent photos of "strange" wounds from Gaza appear to be consistent with what is known about DIME weapons.

The area of a DIME blast should be treated with caution until it has been decontaminated (assuming this is possible). Depending on the local HMTA concentration, soil in the blast area may remain barren for an indefinite period of time, or it may grow plants internally contaminated with HMTA.

  • lets compare a Terrorist IED to a drone attack, both can and are filmed, they can be placed anywhere in the world, they can both be automatic , both are effective, both can cause collateral damage.

  • Sad that so so so many people "Only See" this as a Loss of Jobs/A-Scientific-Community, Trust Me Gubber-Mint-Jobs Never Disappear without a Reason;

    NASA in Cover-Up, Exposed,

    The Scientific Crimes are the MOST DANGEROUS acts, AGAINST Humanity!!

    It is Criminal and It IS Terrorism. BTW: Ever heard of HAARP? It too is GoberMint-Air Force

  • @phigolio sombody didnt get momma titty when he was a baby, you.

  • Forget controller water ways, lets figure out how to kill from a distance remotely!

  • Faster, better ways to kill lots more people.

  • dood it took me back here LOL!!

  • Creating the future?

    Sick!

  • Yes I am well aware that Israel did not exist during WW II the state was created shortly after the end of the war, but there are things called history books that I am sure are available in Israel you fool.

  • Israel wasn't around in ww2

  • Israel and the jewish people have not learned any lessons from the deaths of so many in the concentration camps of WW II instead they are killing women and children in the same manner as their

    ancestors were killed in WW II which comes to prove that there is no greater oppressor that the recently oppressed.
