LOL, it is from Herman Kahn’s book “On Escalation.” Kind of an every man’s guide to ducking and covering.
800 troops equal a tripwire. It certainly is not a show of force.
HAVE to look into this book!
This one?
Note that it was only 300 kiloton and detonated in space.
“In 1962, the Soviet Union also performed three EMP-producing nuclear tests in space over Kazakhstan, the last in the “Soviet Project K nuclear tests”.[12] Although these weapons were much smaller (300 kiloton) than the Starfish Prime test, they were over a populated, large land mass and at a location where the Earth’s magnetic field was greater; the damage caused by the resulting EMP was reportedly much greater than in Starfish Prime. The geomagnetic storm–like E3 pulse from Test 184 induced a current surge in a long underground power line that caused a fire in the power plant in the city of Karaganda.”
