Serious question: Has there ever been an actual weaponized EMP on any scale? I’ve never heard of one, and there seems to be real doubt among nuclear arms control experts that this is likely or even possible in a practical sense.
I think just the act of detonating a nuke sets off an EMP. However all electronics getting fried just before the entire city is incinerated ranks pretty low on the priority list.
Well that's kind of the thing right? Once you launch your ICBM, the fate of your cities are already sealed. On top of that, the effects seem to be highly variable. From a practical point of view, you might as well just use them in a traditional manner.
