@n1vux @vik @tops A thermobaric shot will drop a building and crush the lungs of anyone in the vicinity but I’m not sure it’ll do much to semiconductors in a ventilated box.

@cstross @vik @tops unless it's used as a simultaneous remote trigger for all the thermite at the top of each rack?

@n1vux @vik @tops Maybe, but what's wrong with detcord? Thermobaric rockets are not cheap ...

Detcord? Did you see the Russian wiring job? :) Those thermobarics are widely distributed and actually quite cheap. They're mass produced these days. Even Ukraine has some...

It will throw the boxes around slightly, implode them, raise the temperature somewhat being thermobaric, and drop a building on the imploded remains. Probably good for the job. Bear in mind the official Russian weapon category for the device is "flamethrower."
