One bomb + one missile = one EMP and we are back in the 1800s
Building a Time Machine is really possible! At least for going back in time.
That’s not how it works.
Jeez…one novel, twenty years ago, and everyone jumps on the EMP wagon.
No. The "Sole EMP Over The Midwest" is ridiculously overrated as to efficacy.
The other laughable aspect of this agitprop Company nonsense is the mere idea that a Chinese sub would launch a single EMP just casually as the pretext for a larger attack.
No, what will happen is a massive 'fire-everything' PLA smoker, mostly to the west coast and Hawaii and all of our Pacific exposures, with a couple adventerous global pathway shots, while the 3 Chinese subs in the Atlantic pop-a-shot at NYC and DC/Pentangle.
In all likelihood the CCP will then attempt to sue for peace, while the US simply turns Beijing/Shanghai/Qingdao and most unfortunately HK, into radioactive glass.
What is the realistic threat of EMP from one bomb one missile from a rogue nation? Can one bomb the size Iran could launch, exploded over the CONUC somehow, really wreak nationwide damage ? Or is that a myth?
