Ok, time to stop the fear mongering and take off the tin foil hat...

According to a military analyst at the global intelligence firm STRATFOR:

"It's not that EMPs are not a threat. It's just that—although the effect would be massive—currently they're not really a risk apart from nuclear strikes, so highlighting them as the greatest threat there is might not be entirely realistic."

Also, the example of the Ukraine/Soviet conflict is NOT an example of EMP technology. Here is the direct quote, "So to be clear, the Ukraine-Russia conflict doesn't involve EMPs".

He goes on to say that as far as the US intelligence community knows, [or is willing to say], neither the US nor the Russians have gone past the prototype stage in creating EMP devices.

The analyst also pointed out that given the complexity of EMP tech (outside of using a nuclear bomb) that it would be much simpler to just blow up the power lines going out of a power plant.

See this is what happens when you watch too much Fox "news".
