True but if it is detonated up in the ionosphere it is expotentially magnified. 300 miles up would cover pretty much the entire US
An EMP wouldnt make a diff in Eastern Kentucky.
Not for eastern kentucky, but a few thousand miles away maybe
130 KT x 3?
I don't think so. That's a firecracker. Unless detonated at exactly the same time, the EM effects wouldn't be additive.
What was the yield of the last warhead popped-off in the ionosphere that had serious electromagnetic effects?
Starfish Prime was back in the 60's, it affected (limited) Hawaii 900 miles away.
Yield?
