They have? Got proof?

I thought you were military, you never noticed that some of your equipment was hardened against EMP, such as my PRC70 in the 1980s, or the PRC 77, and vehicles, aircraft and all kinds of gear?

Here is a piece of a Boeing 2008 news release.
“Major survivability discriminators for the Boeing KC-767 included:
More robust surface-to-air missile defense systems
Cockpit displays that improve situational awareness to enable flight crews to better see and assess the threat environment
Better Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) hardening — the KC-767 is better able to operate in an EMP environment compared with the KC-30
Automatic route planning/rerouting and steering cues to the flight crew to avoid threats once they are detected
Better armor-protection features for the flight crew and critical aircraft systems
Better fuel-tank-explosion protection features.”

Here is a paper on military vehicles
White Paper
EMP Mitigation
Protecting Land Mobile Vehicles from
HEMP Threat Environment
Abstract
This paper discusses the possibility, requirements and necessary steps to protect land mobile vehicles
from the effects of an electromagnetic pulse event to ensure continuous mobility of the vehicle. While this
discussion applies to civilian and military vehicles alike, the defense industry’s recognition of a general
EMP (electromagnetic pulse) / HEMP (high-altitude electromagnetic pulse) threat has long resulted in
the establishment of military standards that set requirements for effective EMI/EMP hardening of critical
defense systems. As such, the applicable military standards MIL-STD-188-125 and MIL-STD-464 are
being referenced in this discussion.

From NATO
“3. APPLICABLE STANDARDS FOR MILITARY SYSTEMS
Standards/Specifications are important means for (military) systems including electrical/electronic equipment
to achieve Intra-System Electromagnetic Compatibility and to protect them sufficiently against
electromagnetic environment effects like e.g. “High Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF)”, Lightning, HPM or
Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP).
Standards/Specifications will specify the electromagnetic environment parameters to be considered, they
include requirements on equipment and sometimes system design, they should define procedures, how to
demonstrate sufficient protection. They also should keep in mind how to guarantee sufficient protection
during service time of the system.
This chapter deals with an analysis of the existing Standards/Specifications which are mainly applied by
NATO respectively which might be applicable for the military systems.”
