    You must have large antenna wires to accept EMP. The electrical grid would be most susceptible to this. Small electronic would not be affected. They generalize the effects of EMP in this program. It is also pointless to target hardened missile silos that are empty. Those warheads would be targeting actual military bases, command and control center, power stations, nuclear power plants, and naval shipyards. Also just about any major airport runway would get a strike as well. Comparing what happened at Chernobyl to a nuclear detonation is like comparing apples to wood flooring. It is nowhere near the same.

    • @rogerbeckner6419
      @rogerbeckner6419 3 месяца назад

      To those of us who lived through the 60s and have stayed in the information stream, your comment is full of holes.
      EMP effects were tested at high altitude. A two-mile altitude airburst will KILL ALL microprocessor activity that is not shielded by a Faraday cage.
      Also, silos that have fired their load can be reloaded. You hit them so they cannot be used to fire again. Major airports would NOT be hit unless they were staging areas for dispersed military strategic aircraft. You only have so many nukes, and you have to use them sparingly.
      Yes, a nuclear detonation is worse than Chernobyl, but it depends on Kilo tonnage of the weapon and height of detonation. Look at our first uses of the bombs. You can walk safely around both cities now. The main killing vector was blast and thermal damage. That was because they were air bursts calculated to do the maximum damage without the fallout. Do more research before spouting your misleading "facts" and internet half-a$$ed research.

If you're talking about small simple devices however, then yeah they probably would not be affected very much.

    I'd pour myself a large gin. Then I'd light one of the expensive cigars I've been saving for a special occasion. I know they're very bad for me but so are nuclear weapons.
    After that I'd kiss my ass goodbye and wonder for a few moments about the possibility of an afterlife. 5:50

    Having been a kid in the 50's , remembering the Cuban missile crisis in '62, The Day After in '83 , the following crises throughout the 20th Century , the 21st starting out with Sept. 11.I look on nuclear war as a way of going out with a bang as opposed to dying in a hospice bed with tubes stuck into me.

      3 to 5 well placed ground burst devices in the Mt range could trigger Yellowstone to go up. That would do far more damage than targeting the empty silos😮
