32 TBM Basics TBM = theater ballistic missile TBM = range under 3,500 km; Ballistic = up and down path Course can’t be altered after fuel 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
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
