I wonder how hardened it is to a local EMP.

I did not know until recently that Puting was an electronic engineer.
He is no dummy. But he will always be KGB.

I have never heard that, but it doesn't surprize me
All his mannerisms indicate a sophistication superior to our statesmen

His real training, KGB.
At times, people in sensitive positions, US included, have very unglamorous job titles, on purpose.
My father-in-law was an EE and intelligence officer in 101st Airborne. He spent 40 years in a weapons plant. For 15 years of that he was a division manager. His last job title was Chief Mechanic. smile

But this link doesn’t say anything about engineering except for putting the word into the title.
Wikipedia says
“Putin studied law at the Leningrad State University in 1970, and graduated in 1975.[29] Putin’s thesis was on “The Most Favored Nation Trading Principle in International Law”.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Putin
I got the athletic scholarship part from another article
“On the show, Shenderovich was discussing famed criminal and professional martial artist Leonid Usvyatsov, who is said to have trained Putin and modern-day oligarch Arkady Rotenberg: This is Leonid Usvyatsov, who spent 20 years in prison. Between his two terms, he managed to take part in raising the future president of Russia. It was Usvyatsov who trained Vladimir Putin from age 16, and it was Usvyatsov who arranged for him, the son of a cleaning woman and a security guard, to get into Leningrad State University on an athletic scholarship.”

I had read he was RF engineer.
That could have meant he was “Russian Federation Engineer”.
If so, I took the wrong interpretation.
So, I am not sure now.

That could have meant he was Russian Federation Engineer RF engineering is part of the electrical engineering discipline which deals with transmissions in the radio frequency spectrum. They design radars, cell phones, wi-fi, just about anything that transmits.

Wow! “AWACskii”. Took an Il-76, filled in the chin greenhouse & stuck an AWACS-style radome on top.
Russians still love their Red Star. I would have kept the star but incorporated all three colors of the Russian flag.
