>>13354354>Do you think this is likely to occurthis is what makes strategically the most sense, and creates the biggest damage while the detonation itself doesnt directly kill people (or is not indented to)
without electricity, power grids, etc. any nation, no matter how developed, will collapse and fall back into the stone age
in the case of war this very likely to occur
however if a nuclear attack is planned it will be executed in a way where there is little chance of payback
given the arsenals of leading nuclear powers they will just launch a massive amount of warheads to completely planarize the other nation
EMP makes sense when a nuclear power is fighting a non nuclear power and wants to ensure quick victory
EMP also have the problem that they have a massive area of effect, so not exactly a precisions tool, which could discourage their use
