If they used a small tacnuke set to ground burst, the EMP wouldn’t even be that large, nor would there have been that many large scale effects. Seismographs would “see” an event comparable to a large conventional explosion.
FYI, there have been at least two nuclear weapons used in combat since WW2. During the Sino-Soviet border wars (WW2-1993) had two events recorded on seismographs in the West that could only have been large tactical nukes or small strategic ones.
Nobody’s talking about that.
Nobodys talking about that.
If that really happened, I find it difficult to believe that, in the years since the fall of the Evil Empire, no memoirs have been written to brag about it.
Care to elaborate?
I’d only heard of one post-WWII nuke used in combat (a nuclear land mine got tripped on the Sino-Russian border). What’s the other one?

I've heard of the one that was supposed to be used in 1969. When was the other one?

***First I’ve heard of this. The first nuclear exchange came with a whimper rather than a bang.
