“A typical effective EMP needs to be at least 250 miles up.”

And it would have to be really big, in the megaton range even then, because the pulse is diminished with the square of the distance.

Yeah, I really wonder what would happen if NK or Iran lofted a 20kt-er up over the US and then found out it fizzled. India and Pakistan couldn’t get over 20 kt and I seriously wonder what our enemies are planning.
