The declared ceiling is 15,000 meters so I assume that's what he meant. Idk much about using nukes for EMP purposes, but a cursory search suggests that you need to detonate it much higher than 15km.
really, several in the comments said otherwise, and i heard an air force general, forget who, say that the f22s have the highest. could be wrong, thanks
I see, anon clarified below as 15k Meters and not feet which yes is standard as most will say 50k feet. And you are correct the F22 has the highest in the world of US fighters (that we know of) but for instance in 1977 Alexandr Fedotov (Chad) took a Mig 25 to
37k Meters (123,523 feet).
Published stats on military aircraft are never their full potential.
Are you saying the F-35's max ceiling is 15,000 feet? I assure you it is way higher than that.

Oh meters okay yeah that's about right most fighters are around 50,000 ft give or take.
I think he means meters.
