Kremlin May Dare to Launch Electromagnetic Pulse Strike against Ukraine: What May be the Consequences?

Russia has recently started threatening a nuclear strike again. Western analysts suggest that the inavders might launch an electromagnetic pulse strike on the territory of our country. This can be done by detonating a nuclear charge in space, Financial Times reports.

An electromagnetic pulse capable of disabling all electronic components may be delivered by exploding a nuclear charge in space resulting in total failure of both civilian and military equipment.

In Kherson, for instance, a tactical EMP could disable the systems that operate the region’s dams, clog highways and bridges with miles of disabled vehicles and leave the civilian population struggling for food and heat. The vehicles may be also left disabled.

However, if Russia dares to use EMP warfare, this will trigger a collective defence response from NATO.

"The unpredictable effects of spillover on the earth’s atmosphere, the environment, satellites and downwind populations should suffice as a rationale for invoking Article Five", Roger Pardo-Maurer, the former Pentagon officer, noted.
