I’d like to add..
The Starfish Prime high altitude EMP test that was done in the 60’s.
Seems that the large, W49 warhead (1.4mt’s) which was detonated over 250 miles up, caused quite a bit of “disturbances” over a widespread area.
Also
Our electronics warfare aircraft (EA-6B and F-18 Growlers) can and DO effectivley shut down unprotected electronics as they fly in their operating areas. Usually radars and guidance equipment, but can also disrupt other systems. I’ve personally seen this.

You’re exactly right.
“Dr. Graham is the foremost EMP expert in the United States, perhaps in the world, having been among the scientific team that first discovered the EMP phenomenon in the Starfish Prime nuclear test of 1962, and having worked on EMP his entire professional life.”
The man I talked with worked alongside Graham.
