==Description==
==Overview==
Disruption bombs were dropped from [[B-65 Shortsword]] bombers equipped with the [[M/RODAS delivery system]]. They acted in similar fashion to the smaller and later-developed [[Power Drain|power drain]], emitting a blue energy field that could disrupt all electronic equipment within 3.4 kilometers of the detonation point. Each XGBU-302 weighed 1814 kilograms.

Disruption bombs are generally dropped from [[B-65 Shortsword]] bombers equipped with the [[Maastricht/Raleigh Ordnance Delivery-Application System|M/RODAS delivery system]]. They acted in similar fashion to the much smaller [[power drain]] device, emitting a blue [[electromagnetic pulse]] energy field that disrupts all electronic equipment within {{Convert|3.4|km|mi|sp=us}} of the detonation point. The bomb weighs {{Convert|1814|kg|lb|sp=us}}.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}

In ''[[Halo Wars]]'', they function similarly to the power drain equipment from ''[[Halo 3]]'', but instead of lowering enemy shields, they temporarily prevent any leaders from using their special powers. They can halt whatever power is being used at the moment for about one minute, and prevent any others from being activated within its active radius. Disruption bombs can be called in from any UNSC leader for the price of 450 supplies. They only appear in multiplayer or skirmish mode.
