ICBMs are EMP-shielded, so doubtful. Plus they move incredibly fast, and after a certain stage electronics give way to physics to get them to their target.
Article from a few years ago about USAF trying to develop anti-ICBM weapons:
What makes an ICBM go inter-continental or ballistic? I'd suppose a strong enough pulse could turn almost anything after antique era machines into expensive boulders. I'm just making a simple guess. An ICBM would be useful for creating a precipice moment.
You would have to catch it on the way up to destroy the guidance and navigation systems. The warheads ride a sled once free of the last stage propulsion. Then the sled takes picture of the stars to confirm location, can spin around to adjust, and then drops them. It just drops them. Due to it being in space and no friction, just dropping them is enough to reach many thousands of miles an hour.
It’s incredible how accurate they are considering they are dropped like a lead weight from space. I was always told unclassified accuracy is within a baseball Diamond if aiming at pitchers mound.
Interesting trivia, there is a cone of wood on the top of the missile. Some sort of Russian spruce or something unusual. I don’t remember the details exactly. It has whatever peculiar density and flexibility they were going for and couldn’t replicate it with synthetic. It sound loony, but it’s true. I saw it once. It’s actually quite beautiful. A dark rich color with black swirls.
A Nuke gets EMP'd then baddies get "UFO'd.
A nuke IS an EMP. Just depends on where you cause it to detonate...
Starfish Prime was a very interesting test. The videos are beautiful. They almost look like fireworks....

Am I alone in having no clue what these phrases mean?
