TBM Basics
• TBM = theater ballistic missile• TBM = range under 3,500 km; • Ballistic = up and down path • Course can’t be altered afterfuel is burned out – like a cannon ball• “SCUD” has become generic name• Can carry high explosive (HE) or WMD
– Chemical (poison gas or substance, i.e. mustard)– Biological agent (i.e. anthrax)– Nuclear (India, Pakistan probably have capability)
• Patriots have improved capability since 1991
33
Personal Protection Basics
• Mask, if you have one– Protect from possible chemical or bio weapon
• Seek shelter – concrete if possible– Big explosion, if HE warhead– Chem, bio normally distributed by blast– Even if hit by Patriot, all those pieces will land
somewhere
• Unmask after civil defense all clear signal– Teams will have assessed potential for WMD
