US vulnerable to Chinese electromagnetic attack, experts say
Fox News
Experts warn that the U.S. is vulnerable to an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack from adversaries such as China and that time is running out to invest in defending the country from such an attack
The U.S. electric grid and other infrastructure – such as communications and transportation systems and water and sewer services – could all be devastated by such an attack, experts like Pry warn, noting that time is of the essence for the U.S. to defend itself.
China already possesses "super EMPs" and last summer tested a new hypersonic glide vehicle that analysts warn could deploy the EMP and cause a long-lasting blackout that would shut down key infrastructure and cripple the military's ability to communicate.
