I used to make stuff for the industry. The problem is the performance at temperatures and under pressures over time.

I used to match components as part of the building spec process. Quite the paper trail too. I used to do the hot oil immersion, nitrogen dip, impact tables, shock & vibe, and so on......

Perfect matching is easy on the bench, but not so in a variable environment.

I used to custom wind my own metalized film capacitors for just this reason.

You realize of course that for these to be useful to the islamics they only have to work at elevations below 100 ft and at temperatures which can be easily maintained in a step van with a heater and an air conditioner.

They do not need mil spec bombs to take out major pieces of NY, Washington, DC, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, Miami, Houston, Baltimore, etc. While we are at it, throw in London, Sydney, Rome, etc.
