What are the odds that the Russians or Chinese have a battlefield weapon that switches off or glitches out enough of our high-tech battlefield electronics to take away our digital edge?

If a battlefield can be forced back to 1950 Korea, even locally, we lost bigtime.

They try. We try back.

So far, the laws of physics overcome such ideas.

If you are close enough to use a directed EMP type weapon you are close enough to be destroyed yourself or reach out and destroy the target using other means.

Jamming, interfering, and denial, are all part of the Cyber Warfare game.

I think you’d agree that personal and national politics are much bigger threat to prevailing against aggression than any weapon system out there.
